General contractors like illegals because they can't qualify to liscence themselves to become competition. So it decreases who is allowed to operate in the construction field.
If they hired legals, then those people can themselves become liscenced contractors.

Sick of hearing this. Perhaps today's "youth" don't want to, but I sure as hell know there are people in their 30's, 40's, and beyond who DO, but are completely shut out of the market because they don't find living in illegal apartments with 10 grown men (and their baby mommas and multiple children) very attractive.
Exactly! Anyone who claims they can't find good American help is just BSing. Anyone who pays illegals under the table aren't looking for good American workers at a fair wage anyway.
I worked Construction long enough to know I didn't want to do it for more than a couple of years. I'm sure we need a certain percent of Immigrant workers to do all jobs, I just don't agree with any Illegal immigration, and when you include felons they definitely don't belong.
"America is expelling illegal immigrants at nine times the rate of 20 years ago;" And the O admin is cooking the books to show those numbers.
When someone is turned away at the border the O admin COUNTS THAT AS a DEPORTATION.
I think also that is the reason they say they aren't coming in from Mexico so much anymore. They stop some at the border, the ones without the connections the Mexicans have, so count those countries while Mexicans flow in unnoticed.

No one cares. It is pretty much hands off since Obama blessed them. Big business and politicians, bought and paid for, support illegal immigration.

If Trump gets in and allows immigration law to be enforced, it could quickly through these businesses. I am guessing they know where the illegals are working but need a "go ahead" in order to start sweeps again.
Do you make this stuff up or is this all off some nutty bog you follow..
Obama has Deported more illegals than BOTH Bushs' COMBINED!! Sweeps don't work well and are VERY COSTLY! That's why GW Bush LET THEM ALL COME IN.. Deporting 1000 Illegals would cost Tax Payers Close to $3,000,000.00 Just to deport 1,000,000 of then ( a drop in the bucket ) would cost tax payers $3,000,000,000.00 Its Against The Law to Hire Illegals ...Punish Employers... Employers will stop hiring them and it doesn't have to cost more for anything ..
