        College teaches them that getting hands dirty is job for lower class people. Illegals. What a shame try working instead of crying

        Construction is hard work. That’s why they don’t want to do it. I would trade 2 lazy I-Gens for 1 south of the border person who wants to work.

        Hey, remember Trump & Session’s hardline immigration crackdown that’s starving the Agriculture & Construction industries of low skilled & hard manual labor workers? Gosh, who would have believed bad policy has bad economic consequences? Who could possibly have seen that coming?

        Typical leftist elitist who hears construction jobs and only thinks of low skill, low intelligence, menial labor that only immigrants woud do. The reality is most contruction trades require a highly skilled and intelligent individual.

        Typical right wing troll. Who said anything about “low intelligence”, strawman crusader. But that’s immediately what your bias and bigotry equated low skill and hard manual labor jobs to be.

        Not right wing, just pro labor. You are the one who blamed Trump immigration policy for creating a gap in construction labor and called it low skilled. I just pointed out that the construction worker is typically highly skilled and trained individual.

        For a generation you drilled into children’s ears the mantra that they absolutely have to go to College, get their degree, then become doctors & investment bankers. No one ever told the kids to grow up and get seasonal & migratory jobs with the road crew, or in construction.

        Wages in most construction jobs have stagnated for 30 years since the illegal flood gates have been opened. I grew up in the industry since my father was in the field and watched how Americans were displaced by those who would do the job cheaper.

        Since those fathers and uncle were either forced to employ illegals at cheap wages or be put out of business their sons and nephews were never brought into the trades. Of course now we wonder why young Americans aren’t well represented in today’s construction job market..

        فقدان العمال الشباب هو "ندبه لم تستفد منها صناعه البناء بعد" أقول: الشباب يرغبوا بالأعمال ذات الدخل المجزي والمستديم بعض الشيء. ولكون البناء من الأشغال الغير مستديمة الطلب وتتأثر بقواعد العرض والطلب والتضخم والأنكماش، يفضل الشباب عدم الركون للبناء وتقلباتهhttp://on.wsj.com/2LNg0Ft
