Lol, i guarantee that my housekeeper from Venezuela doesn't have legal status. I'm nearly certain that none of the landscaping crew doing my yard does either. I'm also having new windows installed. I'd wager that when that crew shows up there won't be many US citizens or legal immigrants doing that. The house across the street is getting anew roof today. They started today and are almost finished. I bet there isn't a legal immigrant among them. The work is being done fast, well, and cleanly.

Who is supposed to replace all these people?

We've been using the same local landscaping company for several years now. Initially, the crews were exclusively white dudes. I guess at some point the owner determined the business wasn't profitable enough and changed his hiring strategy. The landscaping crews are 100% Hispanic now. Could they all be documented? It's possible I suppose but highly unlikely.

I would also point out that I don't use those service providers because they are cheap. I use them because they are the best available. The cleaning lady gets $200 and is at the house for less than 4 hours.

But it fucking shines.

Best damn $200 you ever spent too, ain't it? We have a cleaning lady, lower cost of living area than you most likely, we do $125 for a 2100 sq foot house. But man, comong home after she has been here, amazing! For a few hours, til the kids trash the place again.

In 1959 we lived in Decatur Alabama The norm was 25 cents an hour for a cleaning lady Mother would not do that -but for all I know she just upped it to 40 cents

No doubt. My only apprehension is in not having her come 2 days a week. 3 big dogs with a dog door...

Lol, you cannot possibly believe that our current legal immigration system can bring in anywhere close to the number of laborers needed and place them where needed when needed.

Which brings us full circle to immigration reform. Remind me again who has been blocking that?

Lol. Just because it’s a bill doesn’t make it a good bill. It was trash.

Folks, this is what I've been talking about. Most of these people are not reachable. This assclown has had the bill explained to him many times; he still has no idea what's in it; he can't for his life offer any real critique of it; and he doesn't care in the slightest.

All this talk about better messaging assumes that there's an audience listening. They aren't. They just parse through everything looking to be outraged about something. As this poster will surely be when reminded that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Again.

That opens them up to exploitation by employers who basically hold the sword of deportation over their heads. And it puts legal workers in competition with workers that can be treated like something on the bottom of your shoe. Of course that is basically happening today so maybe little change.

Isn’t that what we are already doing with Indian tech workers via H1B?

Not only that, it’s been explained to him and others repeatedly that the bill came to be because Mitch McConnell tapped Jim Lankford, one of the most hard core conservative Senators from one of the deepest red states in the country, to create the bill, and it was created with the Democrats literally surrendering on everything- they gave away the whole farm!- and getting nothing in return. In other words, it was the stuff of Republican wet dreams. And they still wouldn’t pass it because Trump told them not to. Now, as it turns out, it was damn smart shrewed politics because it worked in their favor. But just because it worked, and just because it was shrewd to tank it, does not mean that it wasn’t the absolute best bill the Republican party has ever, or will ever, be able to reasonably pass. And yet every single right wing dumb fuck on this board talks about it like it was some Marxist piece of legislation.

Because you can't deport 15 million in a vacuum. You can legally bring people in for those you deport where needed.

Or rather than going through all those gyrations and all that cost, we could just find a way to make those who are already here and doing those jobs legal and be done with it. But leave it to Republicans to figure out a way to go around their elbow to get to their asshole.
