Illegals hanging out at Home Depot must be a state by state thing. I don't see anything like that in my home state. I don't doubt that you see this. I've heard it from other friends in different areas too. In Indiana we value subcontractors who will work hard. They command a good wage. The typical American graduate doesn't want to get his hands dirty. I wouldn't want a white kid on a roof at one of my jobs. There should be an easier pathway to citizenship for Mexicans that come here to work. We need them.
In IT, the same is true. They should be here legally. When it comes to hiring in any field, it should be the most qualified candidate for the job. No DEI picks. That wasn't what Musk and Swamy were getting at. We have a problem with too many American kids loafing on their parents couch instead of being hungry to get ahead. It is a fact.
If this country needs H1-B visa workers, let them come. The first priority should be getting the punk gang members out and closing the border. Legal immigration should not be shut down. There is a lot that needs to be fixed with immigration and violent fucks that are here illegally. There should be no tax payer dollars going to support immigrates. When it comes to youth that wants to work and contribute to the good of society, hell yeah, they should be welcome.
