        This isn’t the truth... your source is laughable. Trump has done nothing domestically to assist the AA community. Period. Full stop. Have a great day

        Trump is recreating Andrew Jackson’s Trail of Tears - the forcible removal & forced march of hundreds of thousands of people, driving them from their homes. This human misery is a crime against humanity, lacking all compassion and extremely racist, exactly as it was in 1830-1850.

        So what will Corporations do? Raise wages or get more international workers? ... Like that's a question.

        I submit that they will leave the openings unfilled, force their existing People to do more, and wait until wages drop. In the meantime they will drastically inflate the bonuses for the board & slightly increase the dividends. That's what corporations do.

        That's why unions are so important to the building trades. Unions offer paid internships and a loving wage with benefits.

        Said the vice-president at a plumbing firm who didn't want to pay more to than he can get away with to hire legal permanent residents. Fixed it for you. Supply will equal demand once price is adjusted sufficiently.

        Because for decades we have been allowing undocumented workers in who are happy to accept substandard pay. American youth were discouraged from trade school education and the cycle fed itself!

        Shouldn't you be blaming the companies who didn't want to pay full wages because it would cut into their profit?
