Will The Amnesty For Illegals Affect Us?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thinking that if the president and congress pass a bill that grants
the illegal aliens (mostly mexicans) legal permission to stay and work and
therefore get drivers licenses, won't that cause a glut of drivers and
therefore cause mileage rates for drivers to decrease? I came from the
construction industry and wages have been crushed downward since so
many illegals have been hired by the builders and contractors. The illegals
dominate the sheetrockers/plasters, landscapers, carpenters, masons,
roofers, machinery operators and have made inroads on the electricians
and plumbers. If the wages for drivers get any lower, how can we all pay
our mortgages, utilities and food? I don,t know about you but 35 to 40K
in california does not pay the bills. It is great for the mid west states but
the drivers from those states will have less too. Any reasonable suggestions appreciated.
