This is stupid. You actlike immigrants starting businesses is a net positive to Americans...in many cases it isnt. At all
Masonry is a great example. 20 years ago the vast majority of brickmasons in charlotte were americans, black and white men doing good work.
Juan pedro valdez starts a brick crew in charlotte. He employs all amigos, probably all illegal except maybe him or his wife, who gained citizenship with an "anchor baby". Juan pays his masins 12 bucks an hour, and laborers 8...where Americans make 30 to 40% more than that...because his guys live 8 to a 2 bedroom apartment on the crap side of town, dont have cars or payments bexause they are illegal and cant get a license, etc....so Juan gets the contracts on all the new subdivisions to lay their brick, because he can underbid the americans by at least 25% due to his illegal labor. Americans are out of work. America loses.
Problem is, there isnt 1 juan....there are thousands of them. Starting those "business " that you talked about. There are so many that American masonry crews are a thing of the past here. There are zero. They cant get work, and the price to lay 1000 brick hasnt gone up in 20 years, due to the amigos. It is still about 400 dollars per thousand. Cost of living has increased dramatically for americans though, making sure that we could never make a decent living laying brick anymore. I lived through this reality.
Here is the real kicker....living 8 or 10 to a house or apartment, all of them to a man bringing their lunches everyday of leftovers from supper the night before...these guys are not only thriving and bringing more and more of their friends and family, they wire 25% or more of what they earn back to their family members in mexico or central america. That money is gone from our economy, poof!! It doesnt buy US goods or services, doesnt help us at all. It hurts our country...while juan and all of his helpers have their kids in US schools, often times draw welfare, SNAP, etc...they teach eachother how to game the system.
I cant tell you how many times i have been at the grocery store in line behind a family of amigos with 250 dollars worth of hot pockets, pizzas, microwave this and that...in addition to all the normal mexican foods...and when they get to pay they whip out the old Red White and Blue foodstamp card, and cant speak a word of english to communicate with the lady running the register. Sucks to see them abuse the system while my wife and I bargain shop and dont splurge on the "convenience foods" to make sure we stay in our budget.
But yeah Huff...just open up those borders buddy...bring em all in. Hell with our country and the people who have worked so hard and paid into the system that they abuse. Thank God there are a lot more people who think like the rest of us than there are confused people like you.
I say keep em there for a few more months...'We don't want you here!'
Protesters waved Mexican flags, sang the Mexican national anthem and chanted 'Out! Out!' on Sunday in front of a statue of the Aztec ruler Cuauhtemoc, just one mile from the US border.
They accused the migrants of being messy, ungrateful and a danger to Tijuana and complained about how the caravan forced its way into Mexico, calling it an 'invasion'.
And they voiced worries that their taxes might be spent to care for the group as they wait possibly months to apply for US asylum.
Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum has called the migrants' arrival an 'avalanche' that the city is ill-prepared to handle, calculating that they will be in Tijuana for at least six months as they wait to file asylum claims.
Many of the nearly 3,000 migrants, mainly Hondurans, who have reached the Mexican border with California via one of the caravans complained that they do not feel welcome in Tijuana.
