    Demagoguing the border and demonizing immigration is holding Texas back economically.

    Eddie Martin can’t build as many homes as he’d like in Texas because his contractors don’t have enough workers, particularly skilled tradespeople such as electricians, carpenters and plumbers.

    This labor shortage, exacerbated by an aging workforce and growing number of retirements, means it’s more crucial than ever for the US to allow more legal immigrants into the country to bolster the ranks of the construction industry, said Martin, CEO of Tilson Custom Home Builders in Austin.

    “We’re losing business. There’s no doubt,” said Martin, whose wife’s family started the company in 1932. “So many of those skilled workers are aging out. There’s nobody replacing them.”

    Are you saying trump hires only licensed illegals, or just illegals?

    Shortage of Plumbers? Shoulda imported Polaks not Somalians.

    House building is & always been European skillset. Mexicans master the landscaping for this geography.

    I have younger cousin, same Polish hometown that's been doing roofing in Scandinavia.

    > my Male cousins in their 20s want to immigrate to USA. Almost impossible. We are gone in June too.

    Yeah Mexicans cant build houses.
    Polaks need to starve themselves so we can import them.
    Somalians need and needed to start eating. What is it with these starvation diets? The Palestinians are now with this fad.
    I have a friend who does roofing for the cave-dwelling Mexican Freetail bat, lazy bas s...
    The Icelandic people are horrible landscapers To add to that these people are always on about dwarves scaring them.

    On average, migrants to the US are better educated than US natives. Immigrants from Central Americans as a cohort are better educated than Texans.

    Legal and illegal South Asian immigrants are wildly more educated than Americans.

    I'll see if I can dig it up for you later.

    I'm not sure why it should be surprising to anyone that immigrants are more educated than Americans, apart from general gullibility to demagoguery.

    Better than the asshole who persists on having $4 to $5 gallon a gas vs. the guy who sold it for $2 a gallon.
    Better than the asshole who killed more than 3/4 of a million American >and counting< with COVID after he swore on the Good Book: "I'll shut it down." vs. the guy who only killed 400k Americans with it.
    Better than the asshole who gives Full Health Insurance to millions of Nazi's in Ukraine vs. the guy who don't.

    This, but unironically

    Hypocrisy is filigree on the gun barrel of impunity.

    It's a flex. The in group isn't bound by the rules it proposes for others. The frisson of criminal transgression keens the perverted righteousness of the crooked public official.

    Oddly enough, Trump being a fraud and a crook -- and a big loser -- makes him more relatable to certain people.

    He made President, Winester, one of only 44 others to accomplish it across 4 centuries. That's the only reason why we're here of a nondescript Thursday afternoon turning evening.

    You taught us that strategy after he'd made President. And now you want said strategy all to yourselves. Uh, uh.
