President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed directives to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico and crack down on U.S. cities that shield illegal immigrants, proceeding quickly on sweeping and divisive plans to curb immigration and boost national security.
The Republican president is also expected to take steps in the coming days to limit legal immigration, including executive orders restricting refugees and blocking the issuing of visas to people from several Muslim-majority Middle Eastern and North African countries including Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Yemen.

And I'll bet most of those "American workers" working on that project are illegal mexican immigrants enjoying the prevailing wage rate that comes with that job like most government funded projects in america.
How many white or black Americans do you see employed on any prevailing wage jobs anymore ? Practically none. And it's not because they don't want to be and it's definitely not because they aren't qualified. It's because most of the trades have been taken over by illegal Latino labor force all across this country.
They started the take over approx 15 years ago by flooding the trades with cheap labor forcing the American tradesman out of that job market. Once they dominated it they forced the wages back up by refusing to work on payroll and to be paid in a daily cash payout of $300-$450 a day.
Theye even ta ken over the influence on who gets hired by the company's they work for and it's not the American trade men who are getting hired. It's all the family and friends who are also here illegally who are getting these hi paying government projects...pretty sad when the American tradesman can't even get a piece of the pie and it's all going to the same people that took our jobs in the firstbplace
Kiser88,
I have seen the same thing and much much more, with my own eyes.
LMFAO,
I've got 73 Border Wall, subcontracts in my inbox.
"I've got 73 Border Wall, subcontracts in my inbox."
Well then post them so we can see them.
We are now at a 40 year low for illegals entering our country...
1. jobs Americans won't take: they took them during the Dust Bowl Days.
2. the wall: Mexico says it will not pay. Pres. Trump says no money to sanctuary cities. That money to be used for his wall. That then is your tax money going for the Wall he wants but you rather than Mexico will pay for.
3. Wall in the 12 million illegals already here to keep them here? Does that solve the issue?
4. There already is a wall, though not fully across the border and some parts of the border no wall can be built.
