US has most fucked up immigration policy, at least top five worst in world. Years ago, we had policy where Mexicans were allowed in for several months at a time to do seasonal work. Nowadays, 90% of the construction work is done by Hispanics. Most US workers don't know how to do construction and and the other half don't want to do construction. Cluster fuck. I live in Texas so I am basing my statement on what I see. Other states may be different.
Beautiful. Postcard material.
I see something a bit different here in NY. Virtually every job has been taken over by persons who only speak Spanish. At one time it was noticed that most of the (presumed) immigrants only worked in landscaping jobs or as domestics in hotels. Today, its every mason, irrigation worker, roofer, contractor, landscaper, pool installer, siding contractor, and on & on. Jobs have been scooped up from beneath everyone who needed a non-technical job. Even the union guys are getting pushed out by guys who will work for low wages, unlimited hours w/o overtime and no benefits. It's impossible to compete with any of that. Contractors and other businesses who didn't give in to this nonsense eventually were underbid in every aspect of the job. They either gave in to hiring all immigrants or they went under. What a terrible down spiral for the American workforce.
