More evidence of J6P feeling squeezed: a backlash movement against immigration, especially against Hispanics, who are willing to work for less doing jobs at the bottom of the ladder - landscaping, painting, construction.

I guess I see immigration in a positive light because they're doing jobs I don't want to do.* Just about every person I see doing landscaping is Hispanic. The people who clean my office are Hispanic. They come late at night, a man and a woman and a child, and go from room to room together, cleaning, talking quietly in Spanish. They are very polite and deferential. I see that a lot in offices, an Hispanic man and woman cleaning together, but not with a child. Used to see black people, for a while VietNamese once in a while, now it's all Hispanics.
Hard to imagine white men cleaning toilets. Even after a financial collapse.

*We also get the ones at the top of the ladder, the engineers and scientists. Unfortunately, a lot of them can't get jobs doing what they were trained to do. A lot of them wind up driving taxis, or working in laboratories. It's a common joke that taxi cab drivers were all brain surgeons back in their own country. J6P doesn't drive taxis anymore, either. |
