Sorry but you do sound like a racist considering that you left out a bunch of other undocumented nationalities that work in the construction industry.

Despite everything immigrants (legal or illegal) have contributed to this nation, they will always be blamed for the woes of society and its downfall. Generation-to-generation, it hasn't changed. Leads me to believe there is something else going on besides "they took our jobs."
I'd once like to see a thread about how immigrants helped make this country into the powerhouse it is.

It's true. I work in a construction trade making 15$ an hour for a job that ten to fifteen years ago would have payed 20. I know from personal experience that illegals come here and drive the wages down, underbid everyone else and cost tens of thousand of Americans their jobs everyday.
here is my experience : It's true . I work in IT industry making £ 80+ pa for a job that would have paid £ 150+ pa about 15 years ago. I know from a personal experience that the Indians come here and drive the wages down,underbid everyone else and cost tens of thousands of jobs. [ This could of been me back in 2000]
If you deny this then you just have no experience.
you really dont want to talk to those who deny it. Talk to those who don't deny it .
The construction industry would be great if the alternative we're true but guess what? It's not.
Construction industry has nothing to do with your plight . Power doesn't like vacuum , that is your real problem imho .
Now I'm not racist really I'm not. The truth is the truth however and we need to do something about it.
