Sooo…. Quick question:
In what way do you think these clowns are going to blame democrats once they start noticing the lack of unskilled laborers applying for jobs there?
Because they have no problem hiring them for jobs that no legal citizen will work for less than minimum wage for. But when the illegal immigrants are gone and they have to pay a fair wage for legal citizens…. The shit will hit the fan!
They have been doing this for a long time by railing against minimum wage laws, minimum age laws and the universal "no one wants to work anymore".
Texas has about 1.6 million undocumented immigrants. They're going to have to step up their bus game if they're going to run out of "cheap labor."

Also: undocumented <> unskilled. A variety of jobs may not require a certificate or degree, but are not unskilled.
For real, I really don't understand how Texas isn't being prosecuted for human trafficking.
How does one prosecute a state?
There is and will be no lack. There's 10,000+ PER DAY crossing through the SouthWestern Land Border. Places like NYC, Chicago, and Denver are only getting a small fraction of that number.
