Of course not. They still want to pay the same for americans that they did for illegals and obviously americans aren't having that shit.

It’s not profitable. Supreme Court precedent says that it’s better for homebuilders to not build houses than to lose money.

Doesn't Mike Rowe have a program to invest in Martian workers training, recruitment?

They have, but they haven’t considered paying them market wages. Have you heard of markets?

Make anyone who used a fake social security number to steal benefits and employment from Americans unable to join our society ever again.

They don't need to consider this because it's still going on. They still get away with it. They hire lawyers to stave off charges for fake social security numbers. I know hundreds of instances of this.

They’d have to pay actual wages = less profit

The street of San Francisco is full able young man. All they need is to be round up and force treatment.

Replying to @InsiderWire
I remember when contractors would hire their son/nephew and their friends and teach them the trade so when they were older and had kids they could start their own business and then repeat the cycle
