The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

The headline says it all!

What this demonstrates is that the enforcement of our laws protecting American workers from predation by illegals is woefully inadequate. A nice fine levied against every employer who employs illegals would be a fine start. How about 100 times the hourly wage employers pay the illegals....each day they work? That ought to focus their minds on the basic documentation necessary to prove legal employment status. And the whining protestations from these employers are insulting. How hard is it to prove that a prospective employee is legal? It's called an "I-9," and it is administered by the federal government. Those meatpacking plants in Iowa and the strawberry farms in California and landscaping services all over the country can go pound sand if it is too difficult. It's the law, and by breaking it they subvert the economic and cultural recovery of America. I have zero sympathy, and in fact would love to see criminal charges brought against a few dozen CEOs, to encourage the others!

And if they make the specious argument that the I-9 system is insufficient, then the Trump Administration is capable of bolstering that process. But it is the employers' responsibility to ensure that their employees are legal, and if it takes more time and costs a bit more to be certain, well, that is the price I am willing for them to pay!

LA needs construction, landscape workers as illegal immigrants stop showing up for work amid ICE enforcement

In Los Angeles, landscapers as well as framers are not showing up to job sites as President Donald Trump is carrying out his agenda and crack down on illegal immigration in cities around the nation.

According to Bloomberg, LA, which erupted in riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier last month after ICE was conducting operations in the city, has been seeing low staffing in some industries that have relied on immigrant labor such as construction and landscaping.

“We don’t have enough people to staff the work and we’re scrambling to figure it out,” said Arturo Sneider, the CEO at Primestor, a real major estate management company in California and two other states. “It’s triggering delays."


Well Arturo...tough shit. Pay a decent wage to legal workers and you will have your pick of legal employees. In fact, why don't you sponsor a job fair and some training programs for high school students who need jobs.

Hell, expand that to every high school in the country. So we need framers? Great! I've done it, and it isn't that hard to learn. And a few weeks of instruction on how to run a leaf blower may even be within the skillset of some of our public school teachers! These are entry-level jobs and are just perfect for people just starting in the job market.

America doesn't have a labor problem. There are plenty of people to fill these jobs, but not at the artificially low wages that the GOPe and the globalists prefer. Labor is governed by basic economic laws, just like everything else. But if the legal wage is higher than the illegal wage, the labor market is distorted, and does not function normally.

As for relief for certain industries? No. America has seen too much variability in the application of the law, and a generation or two of rigid and vigorous application of labor and immigration law will do wonders for our respect for our institutions, and begin to repair the horrid damage that illegal immigration has done to our country.
