Well no, they're foreign illegals taking American jobs to artificially lower wages. If they came here legally, they wouldn't have a problem.

What the hell is happening in Germany right now? In just six weeks, the country announced 125,000 industrial job cuts. Think about that for a second. If the U.S. were hit at the same rate, that would be like 300,000 factory jobs gone or 500,000 total jobs wiped out in a month and a half. …

Kirk’s death tore through everyone. People couldn’t stop crying. The response hit like a second shock, fear spread faster than grief. Institutions pounced on anyone who showed the “wrong” reaction.

August delivered a jolt the labor market could not absorb. Employers added 22,000 jobs, far below the 75,000 forecast, exposing a system that is faltering under pressure.
