Donald Trump called them criminals and rapists. Bit of an exaggeration.
However, they do have a huge impact on casual labor jobs. Ask anyone who runs a construction, landscaping or restaurant business.
Probably 80% of their workers are these immigrants. In our area they are paid around $15 per hour while college students who need to work part time in MacDonald’s etc. are paid $7.25 per hour. All the towns in this area turn a blind eye to the hundreds of Mexicans who show up at 6:00 am in the mornings at the local Seven Elevens.
They are very cocky too, don’t approach them with $10 per hour they will turn their backs on you.
Two of these guys were hired by a friend of mine to do prep, cutting meats, marinating them for a big catering event.
He did so simply because he could not get anyone to work except these Mexicans at the Seven Eleven who turned down $10 per and $12 per hour. One of these guys was driving a late model spruced up SUV. After 8 hrs of work the said they were done and demanded pay, got it and left. My friend was left stranded to finish the work himself.
We still have high unemployment of local Americans yet all the Mexicans find jobs paying them $15. So what is wrong with this picture?
