companies who have hired them have totally cornered the market around here for construction. He went from being a respected and skilled tradesman making a modestly decent living in support of his wife and kids to a guy who now is lucky to find any work at all. When he does find work he's forced to do it for what amounts to about 3 or 4 dollars an hour or even less. He's now suffering from ulcers and a sleep disorder. She's now the sole reliable source of income for her family, and even though she's a college graduate the only work she could find that would keep the family solvent was the overnight shift at Wal*Mart, a job and a company she hates but they're the second largest employer in this little patch of dirt and her kids need to eat. Think this is happening just on the border states? Think again. I live in Nebraska.

I get so sick of the people who WON'T see that illegal immigration is costing good American workers and their families their livelihoods and their dignity.
