Slowly my ass it was a fast change. My first job I remember when the first mexican came to work. Everyone liked him because he talked funny and within 4 months every white guy except for 4 of us were gone, that was 120 people who were Americans fired so some illegal alien could have a job.
I started my own company and it quickly grew. In 4 years it was a million a year and at 6 I was approaching 3mil a year. Then came every wetback with a pickup truck, shovel,mower and a dream. I saw what was coming and put my company up for sale and did a big sales push, grew it another mil a year in one year then here comes the buyer. I took my money, let the broker have his 10% and watched this guy lose his 3 million in less than 18 months and go under. Guy who bought me was a rich Mexican, kind of enjoyed watching the illegals pick him apart. Kind of hard to compete with guys who pay no taxes, no vehicle insurance, no payroll taxes, no workmans comp and so on
At the same time my friends who did construction all lost their jobs, replaced by you guessed it. It went from white to brown in less than 10 years. They still kept a few smart ones as most of the workers were dumb. One builder I used to do all their landscape work had to go from built on site to framing in a factory and then truck it out to be put together. My last hold out friend in the industry managed to make it to retirement after running a home builder for 40 years, wanna guess what his replacement is?
I bought a machine shop after this and luckily there was no mexican invasion in this industry that I saw as most would not even know how to turn a machine on and were not capable of programming one. Sold out recently and paid my taxes and don't plan on every giving them another dime as I will never work again.
In 2002 I decided the machine shop was doing well enough for me to walk away and do something else. I turned my hobby of photography into a second major career. I did a lot of travel photography but I specialized in architectural photography shooting million dollar homes for magazines and advertising. I was now seeing the work product of these bozos again with walls that were not square, tile lines that were not straight, Trim that was wavy, missed spots in paint jobs. Landscapes were just as bad and photographed a pool that was a inch lower on one end, thinking my camera was not level I finally sw the water line was off. Trees leaning, cactus leaning, poor grading jobs. Even found places where floors were not level. Had to get really good at photoshop to fix these problems. When I shot houses that were built pre illegal days I didn't have these problems, they took pride in their work back then.
I did a job for a country club, big money shoot of the development, golf courses and facilities. I bid the job for a little over 300K I shot a ramada and sent the client the photos and I get looks awesome except for your camera wasn't level. Then I sent him a revised version where I corrected it along with a bill for a extra 10K in time. We met on site and I had a guy come survey the ramada and it was 5 inches lower on one side, quarter million dollar structure and they graded the area outside it to match it but a camera that was level caught it. These same ass clowns build bridges too
Personally I would like to see them lose a leg the first time the come here illegally and the other one the second time they hop back in. That or miniguns on towers and mow them down as I have had it with these foreign invaders. What happened to the days of letting people in that had a skill, now we let the rejects in and turn them loose to build America.
