Put your money where your mouth is and if your window guy comes to install a new window and he has a foreign accent, refuse to get the work done! If your TV breaks and the repairman comes and he has them thar funny eyes, tell him to take a hike, and buy a new TV! Those landscapers who work for Bright? Refuse to pay your amenity fees until they are replaced with Americans!

Oh wait - you want new windows, and you want your TV fixed, and you want the lawn mowed in front of the sign to your Vista De La Bella Sol Villa Villas, and the only people WILLING to do the job for what the bosses are paying them (without any health insurance, mind you) are brown-skinned ferriners? Well dad gummit then, I guess you might just have to move to an island and hire all your own people from now on.

Or fix your own danged TV.

Employers need to pay a living wage to CITIZENS. The employers AVOID paying a living wage by hiring non-citizens. It is a race DOWN the economic ladder. US employers have KILLED unions and brought in non-citizen SCABS. It is history repeating itself. The rich want to stay rich. They do so by holding others back. People in TV Land long for the 50s, 60s, and 70s and wonder WHY? The quality of life was higher when the population was around 250 million. That was BEFORE the big immigration onslaught of the 90s and early 2000s. I could keep up my explanation - if only more were interested.
