(94,300 posts)It says right in the article why he can't get work, despite numerous offers. He has a custody agreement which prevents him from relocating where the work in his field is. There has been absolutely NO evidence presented that he's being displaced because of the immigration law. NONE. All we get is the claim from his wife and articles which haven't come close to proving he's displaced by any foreigner.
Moreover, these foreign workers can leave their home countries to come to America for work. You'd think this man could at least find a way to accept one of the offers that came in, including several in Texas, according to the article.
Holding up the 'jig' woman and her curiously idle husband as an example of the negative effects of this law is a joke. Is he willing to take a job outside of his field? I know I would, before expecting my wife to carry the load while I waited around and used a custody agreement as an excuse.
