CONSTRUCTION AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY USE ILLEGAL ALIENS AS SLAVE LABOR.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

President Trump's 'Legal" immigration plan, as well as his dealing with the "illegal alien problem is getting  static from the U.S, Chamber of Commerce, and you guessed it,  big business and  the construction and hospitality industry.

A few nights ago a television news program interviewed a few home builders and others from the construction industry. The companies were located  in the state of Texas, Wow! These guys sniveled and cried the blues that they can't get workers to build their homes. They said the construction industry will have to cut back on the number of homes they're building across the country. One contractor claimed that instead of  having eight men building a house, they now have to use four men.

These dingbats are complaining that they cannot hire enough "illegal aliens" to build the house., so they oppose the presidents immigration policies.

Folks, more "illegal aliens" call Texas home outside of California. Texas has the second largest "illegal alien" population --California is in first place.

And, because the construction and hospitality  industry honcho's refuse to pay American citizens, both Hispanic and Caucasian a fair wage, they cry in their beer about not being able to get enough "illegal" aliens to work on the cheap. What's the matter with this picture people?

I am old enough to remember the days when in  the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, when  the construction people that built homes, like  the roofers, the plumbers, the electricians, framers, painters, drywall, carpet layers were Caucasian and blacks. They were being paid a decent wage and  did a fantastic job for the construction industry. It was not only the construction industry --most landscape and lawn service people were both Caucasian and black. True, there were some Latinos, but they were the minority on the job. The Latino population that was working in the construction industry, like the agriculture industry were here on a monitored "guest worker" program. And, when the job or their guest visa came to an end after a specific time, they returned home to Mexico.

But since 1986, once president Ronald Reagan and  the dimwits in congress gave "amnesty" to  approximately THREE MILLION "illegal aliens" living in the United States, everything came apart. We Americans were told that the amnesty was a one time thing, and both president Reagan and congress promised a secure border which would prevent any further illegal aliens from entering the United States. But, as usual,the politicians lied  to us, and congress let the immigration policy fall by the wayside.

The construction and the hospitality industry saw the "illegal alien" work pool as a gold mine for them. They could let the  whites and blacks go from the jobs, and hire the illegal, and pay them peanuts for their sweat and labor. Since the 1986 amnesty, the congress, working  with big business, allowed them to hire  "illegal aliens" for slave wages, closing an eye to the illegal practice.

I would suggest the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in collusion with the construction and hospitality industry, is no better than the "plantation  slave owners" of the old  south  who used Black's for"slave labor" to build everything from plantations to the White House. The only difference now is -- Blacks have been replaced with "Latino illegal aliens."

My  idea. The sniveling, griping construction industry, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and big business and corporations should  pay sufficient wages to the American citizens who were doing these jobs  long  before the amnesty program went into effect.

People, it's these big industries that have been fighting tooth and nail to subvert the immigration policies so they can continue to use  slave labor. The irony of this situation is that  the construction and hospitality industry has been using slave labor for so long, they actually expect their employees to be Latinos. And they use the excuse, saying no one else can do the job. That's crazy thinking.

I support the idea of  all employers hiring "legal"citizens of the country, whether they are White, Black, Asian  or Latino. I  believe we have enough citizens in this country to do the  construction and hospitality work needed to run America.  The  government should step up and pass legislation and laws that each and every employer in the nation "must" use the E-Verify system to insure that each  and every employee is a "legal" citizen.

For those job seekers-- "non-citizens," from Mexico, and elsewhere, who say they will work in agriculture, and pick crops, I suggest we return to the efficient "guest worker" program the U.S. had in effect decades ago.  Those worker;s used to come to the U.S. as a "guest worker"and was monitored while here. When the season or contract was finished, they were accounted for by their employers and returned to their country of origin, until the next season. That's how it should be folks. America used to be so great. What the devil happened?  I guess greedy big business took hold.. --Make your own decisions. You decide.
