I went to a dinner party at my ex girlfriend’s grandparents house years ago, and her grandmother started talking about illegals and how “they do jobs Americans won’t do”, and I jumped in and said “you’re forgetting the rest of that statement”, and she was like “what?”, angered that her guest would call her out, I said “Americans won’t do those jobs without a decent wage, but if the pay is good enough, Americans have no problems doing manual labor. You know how I know that?” I said to her…..“because I’ve been working as a manual laborer for 7 years now, and there aren’t any illegals at the company I work for, or in any of the other major competitors who do landscaping/hardscaping work around here”. She just shut up after that, it was an uncomfortable dinner party, but fuck that dumb cunt, I literally did the jobs Americans won’t do for a decade, and it pisses me off when I hear people say that phrase. Most illegals work in construction, competing for the same exact jobs that millions of actual citizens have worked in for the last hundred years, construction is one of the few ways for an uneducated American to make a decent living, they shouldn’t have to compete with illegals for those jobs.
I wouldn't even call construction uneducated - it certainly isn't for the unmotivated and usually there are opportunities to learn new skills if you look for them. A carpenter is an educated tradesman. The mexican contractors ofte only learn how to do one job, and poorly at that, with all the premade house kits going up, but actual builders have skills.
Whenever they tell you that we need unlimited third world migrants to fill construction jobs, just think about all the small towns that still have beautiful brick buildings standing 100+ years after they were built versus the crappy plywood suburban houses we have now.
The mountainous stupidity of the statement "jobs we won't do", as it ignores the entirety of U.S. history where we did those jobs, in majority as recently as 50 years ago, before the Hart-Celler Act began fucking our demographics, and entire economic sectors became infested with nons who drove the wages down (like construction, factory work, farm labor, etc.).
How do these "jobs we won't do" idiots think the American people conquered, built, and maintained the U.S. since the 15th century? How do they think Europeans farmed our own food, took care of our own lawns and property, and worked the menial, laborious, and dangerous jobs, for all of our existence? Apparently we've just been hoarding all of the privilege and magic dirt in all of the universe for ourselves, and we've never ever suffered the universal indignities of life (please ignore all of history to the contrary).
What they really mean when they say “jobs Americans won’t do” is this: I’ve been pampered my whole life and there’s no fucking way you could pay me enough to do a single day of hard labor, it’s a very jewish mentality. The funny thing is, those people tend to be so self involved, that they can’t comprehend how any one else would feel different than they do. On top of that, rather than advocating for American workers getting a decent wage for labor intensive jobs, they advocate for slave labor instead, truly believing that only the educated Americans deserve high wages, not some uneducated manual laborer. They are the same people who advocated for slavery back in the day, nothing has changed.
Agreed. When push came to shove, I've never met a White man unwilling to put in a hard days labor, if it paid the bills and enabled him to support his family. But, due to the constant outsourcing, globalist push, and importation of foreign workers, all of the jobs our people used to do have had their wages degraded severely, such that they no longer provide a livable wage. Construction was one of the first economic sectors hit, and wages in that field were actually higher in the 70s and 80s than they are right now, precisely because of all the Mexicans coming into the U.S.
