#3 Pete is right! Perhaps we can get to the bottom of it if we could only discover what drives caucasians to insist on picking cotton.

#4 So they're bringing in immigrants to do the jobs locals won't do? What's the problem with that?

#5 /\ Nothing "wrong" with it at all Bob, if a peasants wage or lifelong government dependency are your goals.

#8 Buttigieg needs a talk with his party's special interest group, the teachers' unions. Scroll up to "23 Baltimore Schools Had Zero Students Proficient in Math". If you can't do math, you can't do construction. "hi hello im the problem its me"

But go on, oh avatar of this administration, and recent discoverers of the supply chain, teach us about construction.

#16 I work in construction
The vast majority of the workers are Hispanic
It’s hard work and no one works harder than a Hispanic in construction
They are complete warriors
Not so many blacks

#17 Buttigieg should spend some time at San Diego County construction sites. He might enjoy the ranchero music.

#21 Many moons ago I was working temporarily in Beaverton, Oregon and stayed in a mote. Every Saturday about noon the migrant workers brought out their grills and coolers and we had a fiesta. It was great. With my limited Spanish and their limited English we still understood each other and had a great time. Kids playing, musicians playing, dancing, beer. Nobody got unruly, the kids were there. This was way before Oregon went woke.

#23 What's happening is that construction sites are not employing as many local workers, ie illegal Mexicans, instead are increasing hiring illegal migrant El Salvadorians who will do it cheaper than established illegal mexicans.

#27 "outsourcing to White people."

Hey, Pete, would that be "Caucasian, non-Hispanic" or "Caucasian, Hispanic"?

#28 I try, whenever possible, to "outsource" stuff I can't do myself to people who can. At a reasonable price with good warrantee terms.

#33 Down here, contractors hire illegals with the promise of work. Half the job, here's a check for half the promise. Then they call the bank and stop the check. Next day they come in with a new crew to finish the job.

Or buy 12 packs for the 10 guys in a van at the end of the day. Then call the police about a van of that color speeding and swerving lanes. When they don't show up the next day, the contractor is out the cost of two 12 packs, not their wages.

These poor bastards put up with a lot of abuse.

#34 ^^^ In my neck of the woods you don't mess with Meskins by stealing their pay. In WWII the Mexicans in my father's unit took out Jap fortification guards I the dark with out making a sound. They are masters of the blade.
