Legal American; Will Work for $24.00 an Hour

I read this weekend about the US spending $600 per person to fly illegal aliens back to their home south of our border.

A man from El Salvador stated that this was his third time being deported. I was amazed- in some states three strikes can get you life in the pokey.
Illegal aliens however can break our laws year after year without consequences. Even after they are caught and rewarded with a trip home they return to violate us again. An American citizen or legal resident would not be awarded such lenience.

I was even more troubled when this jerk reported he was paid $24.00 per hour as a construction worker!!!!!!
24 freaking dollars!!
This is not a guy who is stealing low level jobs from Americans- he is stealing a middle income wage from a tax paying American.
The country is awash with construction workers from Mexico and other Latin American countries and I can assure you that they are NOT all paid a minimum wage.
In my state every construction site is populated with illegal aliens. I would wager a pretty taxed dollar that the same problem exists in every state.

To test my theory- try stopping at one of these construction sites and ask for directions, better yet ask for the site manager- bemusing and sad all at once.
No one speaks english- and why should they? American employers - who are already taxed at a lower rate than the average middle class family are so desperate to avoid paying a decent wage to an American that requiring english speakers is just too much of a bother.
By the way there are many Legal Americans who would gladly work for $24.00 an hour.
These people are building a separate country within our borders and the current debate in the nations' capital only serve notice that the politicians at least do not care.
