[quote=harvey] . . . Mexicans crossing the border to do manual labor or Syrian refugees displaced by a horrific war (hey, there’s that word again…) are not displacing any Americans. There’s no evidence that they are. You certainly haven’t even tried to present any evidence . . . [/quote]You’re misstating the facts, again, pri_dk . . . as to be expected, coming from you. I happen to know several American citizens of 3 different races (and mixtures thereof) who can’t seem to land positions they sought at local hotels (ex: housekeeping, desk clerk, restaurant hostess or kitchen prep work, etc) due to being passed over for hiring in favor of Mexican Nationals (with or without a “legitimate” right to work in the US), nearly ALL of whom reside in MX! This not only happens in hospitality . . . it happens in professional offices as well (ex: medical, dental and law).
Perhaps you should venture out of your perch in the IE a little more often so you can have the opportunity to speak to regular US citizens who live closer to the Int’l Border. I think you will find that there is a lot of involuntary underemployment and unemployment of US citizens who live on the US side of the border (who have far higher living costs than the sieve of mostly Mexican Nationals crossing the border every day for work).
