You mean like rapidly rising MW would cause that your side supports? I'm not naive enough to think we will won't need workers as our economy grows however it should be controlled, invited workers that we know who they are with no quick gifts of citizenship.

The only way for sustained growth in this country is via immigration, our birth rate is at historic lows and it's just not enough for growth. The cat is out of the bag, come mid century the white man will be the minority in the USA and that's even if we never let another brown man in.........and now the end is near................I and now I hear Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blew my mind how fast it was done, looked good and the price was fair. Most I've met were hard workers , reliable and did good work. Never tried to chisel you out of more money than was agreed upon either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 12, 2018 Author Gold Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 If roofing paid $65 an hour with a very liberal benefit package with guaranteed 5 12’s with all hours over 40 being paid at double time I will go roofing and prolly bring a bunch of guys as any roofing contractor needs.

Buy American and help the American businesses and workers, but don't you do anything to raise their wages and have to pay a little more. "Don't buy at Walmart, they don't pay enough." I'm so confused. Clearly you are very confused. What else is new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
