Yeah....there are two separate comments there.

1) If someone really loses their job to an immigrant, that's their own damn fault.
2) The ones who come illegally do it because there's a market for them.

All good points, except if they are migrant laborers on work visas, they aren’t illegal immigrants.

My mother was a bookkeeper for a good size dairy farm.  I don't know what "good size" is in other areas, but here it's 6 figures of head of cattle, and millions of dollars annually. Every single worker was brought up from central america on a work visa.  The farm gave them a trailer to live in and paid them $8-something per hour....which at the time was 50% above minimum.  The local Caucasians would generally not show up sober for that amount of money.

Closer to the present I was arguing with my brother about immigration and specifically "The Wall".

I cited the economic problems we'd have without the migrant labor.  He shouted at me that we should let the free market come up with a solution.  I looked at him quizzically and said, "Bro....the free market HAS a solution, and it's the illegal immigrants."

    I have been doing this for a long time.  Both manufacturing and
    OSP construction.  The entry level and unskilled labor candidates
    are of general lousy quality amongst whites.  All the drama and
    drug use is with the whites.  Hispanics work hard, quick learners,
    don’t cause problems and have far less drug issues.

    I had a white guy get fired a few days ago, (the one that we had
    to take back to the office mid shift), that when confronted with
    chronic absenteeism, not sharing the load with coworkers, being
    confrontational with coworkers etc attempted to justify all of
    this with “well we wouldn’t have these problems if you guys bought
    new equipment”.... !?!  Right before getting fired his supervisor
    asked: “That vacuum excavator sprays water and sucks mud, how
    would it be any better if it was brand new?”.  The guys mumbled
    something about a lousy company operates lousy equipment.  And
    that our OT is crimping his freedom.  Supervisor told him that it
    was his lucky day.  He was about to get a ton of freedom.

    But this is somewhat of a typical thing.  Lazy entitled white
    bums.  We have a ton of them around here it seems.

    I had a self-identified mexican contractor working on my house one
    time and he told me he only hires other mexicans because they are
    Mexi-CANs not Mexi-CAN'Ts.

        Same here.  He didn't show up, called to see if he was OK, he
        blocked the call and texted back "boss gave me more money".

        Well..why look for the other job?

            So we get this guy to do the pre employment assessments.
            He passes the first interview.  Passes the second
            interview (had to go to two different places for the
            interviews).  Supposed to start today.  No-show. Called
            him to see if he is OK he hangs up on us.

            Sad to say, this is the norm. Out of 100 applications, 10
            will actually agree to an interview.  Maybe 3 will show
            up.  We will hire 1 and he will not show up or last out
            the week.  Indeed works pretty good to find people and I
            am paying for it, but wow.  Go to all the effort of
            interviewing, we do a background check now for driving
            problems, and then a no show.  I don’t understand people.
