Democratic Candidates vs. Working Class America
Advertisements [?]
I have friends that work in the trades. They are plumbers, electricians, they lay tile or frame houses. They are making the same income they made twenty years ago thanks to illegal immigration.

Many contractors cannot even afford to bid on jobs unless they use day labor. The United States government is encouraging the importation of pipe fitters and other skilled workers from Mexico to keep reconstruction costs down.

I guess no American should be worth more than $15 an hour unless they work in a cubicle.

So what do our Democratic candidates do? Do they demand that all building permits come with union jobs? Do they demand that all construction workers show proper ID and licenses before they can work in the United States?

No. They support sanctuary cities to help break the trade unions and destroy middle class Americans. Apparently it is more important that a tenured college professor’s house addition is cheap than an American worker can afford to send his kid to college. Apparently it is better that a business executive can pick up some Saturday help at Home depot rather than an American man can build a business he can pass to his sons and daughters.

I’m a liberal and that means I support an Americans ability to work for a fair wage and improve his lot for him and his kids. Apparently they changed the definition of liberal when I wasn’t looking. Working Class people need not apply.


PS. Yes I know Republicans support cheap labor imports. Republicans are greedy scum and admit it what is your excuse.
