In 1983, I was working landscaping/lawn maintenance. White boy with a driver's license and ability to speak with property owners. Crew was illegals. Boss/Company owner told - don't hire white people or blacks. I thought that sounded discriminatory. At first. But, proved to be true. Native employees sucked. Worked slowly, took a ton of breaks, and generally were less motivated. They all washed out after a couple days, if not a single.day. Meanwhile, on rain days, the illegals did not want to go home early. Instead, they wanted to go to the shop and work on the truck, the trailer, or maintain the eq. They wanted to work. Wanted more hours. Happy to put in 60+ a week, even though we did not pay overtime. They wanted a 15 minute break for lunch, not the standard 30 minutes. All for $10 an hour. |

Originally Posted By 1975: Locals Say Migration Imposes Two-Tier Society on Springfield, Ohio Ordinary Americans in Springfield, Ohio, openly describe how elite-directed migration has skewed their economy, destabilized their neighborhoods, and created a two-tier society that favors migrants over Americans. Federal payments to migrants “makes it harder for people like me — or somebody else who doesn’t get [government-]assisted living — to find affordable housing at a decent rate,” one woman told Twitter journalist Tyler Oliveira. She added: Honestly, in my opinion, it’ll be surprised if I don’t get kicked out so they can boost up the rate on this place. They’ll probably fix it, get it where it’s looking better, and boost the rate up on it. They’ll pay $1,200 a month, and [now] I pay $775 … Yeah, they’ve been doing it around here quite a bit. Honestly, the neighborhood has gotten a lot of Haitians in it here [since] about two years back. “I know people who’ve applied for work a lot of these same places that are hiring [government-supported] migrants … but they’re not getting jobs,” resident William Monaghan told Breitbart News. He added: It’s definitely a push to hire migrants. At a big company near here that makes [equipment] for computers … everybody that works on the [production] line is Haitian, and there’s one interpreter that serves different lines. The inflow of migrants also allows employers to stop hiring and training marginal Americans, such as people recovering from drug addictions, or who are still angry at the multi-decade decline in wages. On September 9, PBS broadcast an interview with Jamie McGregor, owner of a l0w-tech factory that manufactures metal components. He said: Our Haitian associates come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. They’ll achieve their numbers. They are here to work. And so in general, that’s a stark difference from what we’re used to in our community … We want more jobs in our community, and in order to build those jobs, some jobs need to be people who are not originally from here. “I wish I had 30 more,” he added. With plenty of Haitian job-seekers, McGregor also faces less pressure to invest in the high-tech machine tools that could expand his business and help American workers earn higher pay.More at link. I gotta admit it: since hiring a Haitian housekeeper 6-months ago, all the toilets in our house stay spotless even during intermittent bouts of diarrhea or when one of the kids gets sick and vomits and only partially connects with the commode. Man oh man, what a worker! Plus the carpets and rugs have never looked cleaner. At what we’re paying, we should probably hire two more of these people for yard work and gutter cleaning. Only real issue is, my youngest is on her third cat. We can’t figure out what happened to the first two. Very mysterious.

The larger problem is that we're paying people to sit at home, not work, and get fat and unhealthy. So paying them to not only subsist, but to become a burden in many other ways. Which in turn goes into opiate and other addiction issues. Which in turn goes into crime issues.
The only way to turn it around is to stop paying people to sit at home. Everyone is fucking disabled. No you're not disabled. Fuck you. Go work. |

I watched a bunch of Utoob vids, with Springfield residents (B&W) voicing their concern about the influx of Haitians. EVERY fucking one of them implied that they were on .gov assistance of some sort themselves, and were bitching about the Haitians getting more money than them, creating long lines at the welfare office, getting loaded up EBT cards, driving like retards, eating ducks. Many people who actually live in small towns, are typically welfare types. (Speaking as a small town SW Ohioian)

Anecdotal, I know, but I've found it hard to find Americans who can complete contracted tasks in a timely/satisfactory manner. I needed tree removal/trimming services on a half-acre home lot, I tried to hire American arborists to do this job, it was never a question of price. The problem was the Americans could never show up with the insurance needed to start the job, it was always "sure no problem" but on the day work was to begin they hemmed-hawed but had no insurance, or they didn't show-up at all, or the crew was tired, or the truck is down, etc, etc... Just generally a waste of my time.
I asked on a local community board for referral for tree services, received an email and set-up the appointment and a tiny Hispanic woman showed up to look at the job and quote a price, immediately I thought WTF. Her English was passable, she knew the business, she quoted a fair price/set a date/time and she showed up with insurance documents the day before the job began. She and her husband were from Central America and ran the tree business, they showed up with a crew made up of 4 tiny guys who were loggers in Central American countries and did a hell of a job over a day and half. They cut down trees, hauled them to a mulch place, had a stump grinder and really cleaned up the place. I bought them all lunch on the second day and gave them my two well-used Husqvarna chain saws as they were leaving. Same issues with movers, lighting services, home remodeling, roofers, etc. Hking |

The huge Virginia Eastern Shore chicken processing plants aren't going to shut down just because native born Americans won't do the work. Tyson Foods, Perdue Farms, Ihsan Farms, among others, all hire Haitians or other non-native born. The only reason I knew Haitians were there is the Institute for Justice is suing the city of Parksley, VA on behalf of a Haitian married couple, in the US since 2009, trying to open a food truck in the city. No, I'm not a fan of the "Haitian Invasion", just showing another example of where Haitian labor is being used in the US.

She said no problem and call her when I was ready to proceed. When I called her a few weeks later, she said we'll be there tomorrow. And they were. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rob78: I've had multiple manufacturers ask me to help facilitate a pipeline for migrant talent. Post-covid, lots of workers retired early, lots of workers learned to work for cash under the table, some sell drugs, a small number sponge off parents. We don't have the birthrate to replace them. Some employers have refused to up their base pay or publicize and type of performance incentive. Their work environment and culture sucks. These employers, by and large, are the ones contacting me about H1 and H2B workers. We absolutely DO have a labor issue in this country. Many of these younger workers ARE soft as butter, anxiety-ridden, pussies. We also have an employer issue when they refuse to even be marginally competitive with wages or consider that their dark, loud, dirty work environment could be improved. It's all so.tiresome. There's an old saying, "Everyone has a price". Employers aren't meeting Americans' price. So instead of finding a way to attract American workers, they are price shopping for 3rd world workers with low expectations. But then these same businesses cry "Buy American!" while refusing to do the same where employees are concerned. |

They all have to go back. Honestly at this point all the people that employ them can go with them, pay a steep tax, gtfo and they can be barred from re-entry to the US for at least several generations.
I'm convinced that we need to re-evaluate immigration post WW2 forward, certainly back to Hart-Celler. Our freedom, nation, culture's and people's are at the very least severely diminished if not completely destroyed by the end of the century (probably a lot sooner), unless there's a mass deportation amongst other necessary changes. |

He was described as a "Conservation Republican" but he sounded like an arrogant Liberal in every way. He needs to move to Haiti. In the same show they had local Springfield Leftist activists calling for the need for housing and resources for the 20,000 Haitians. So the greedy hostile to America employer gets the profits while the taxpayers have to pay for the many more Haitians unemployed and unemployable. |

Americans workers have to pay for all that for themselves and for the immigrants.. This hit the nail on the head. Americans are more expensive to hire because Americans have more expenses. If we didn't have to pay for our own housing, food, utilities, healthcare and education, we could be competitive. Trump should add a policy point called, "Repeal the Native American Tax". This would be a bill that ended all subsidies and incentives of any kind for anyone who isn't a native-born American citizen. Which is effectively a tax on real Americans. |

In another life I worked for a very large screw company. Probably 80 percent of metal buildings you see have those screws holding the siding on.
Anyway I worked in the warehouse, the people doing the piece meal work were all Hispanics. All of them illegals. The company got busted for hiring them, but there was no e verify back then so the company couldn't really check their status and they all used fake documents. Those people got fired, and the company hired white people in their place and that was a total failure. So back to hiring illegals until they get caught again.

Everyone wants cheap labor. Illegal or not. Whether Arfcommers want cheap housekeepers, au pairs, babysitters, maids, yard men, or companies want cheap factory workers.

Eeh, you know how industrial operations be, it's a hazardous business. Accidents happen. Especially at night when noone's around to guard against them. It'd be a damn shame. Real damn shame. |

This is where I'm at on the scale. Yes we have a lot of lazy, good for nothing Americans living off the government teat, refusing to work and playing the system. The answer is cut the benefits but make it easier and more profitable to go to work, importing millions of culturally non-compatible people is not the answer and really only reinforces the "work is for suckers" attitude. One needs a somewhat balanced and fair'ish system, neither worker or owner has complete leverage. While unions are never the solution, there are *some* positives to having controls in place to prevent employer abuse. All these types of stories try to make out the business owner as the bad guy but really he's just taking advantage of situation the gubment has allowed, what the owner doesn't realize is he's being made the scapegoat for the policies in typical politburo form. Hey, don't blame me it's *his* fault.....Rinse and repeat. This is yet the latest attack on the Middle-Class worker, either pushing you into a lower-class or elevating you but the vast majority are being groomed to be workslaves or welfare kings/queens. |

I mean since it'd be obvious that American workers are the best most reliable workers in the world?
