After Hurricane Katrina President Bush flooded the south with undocumented workers from Mexico and wherever to work for any wages along the Gulf coast. That policy might be a southern tradition of exploiting labor for the least possible recompense, yet it was bad for U.S. workers.
The Democratic Party is made of doper-dummies regarding labor value theory. Rebuilding after hurricane Harvey will require a lot of labor. Hundreds of thousands or millions of northerners are unemployed or have poorly paying jobs or even are unemployed and would travel south for the winter to rebuild Texas after Hurricane Harvey if the wages were good and jobs readily available. Democrats used to be a party that understood labor and especially union labor, yet they undoubtedly will demand that tens of thousands of Mexican undocumented aliens be allowed to work in Texas for below minimum wage through waivers.
In the real, adult world of labor wage values supply and demand for labor set prices- unless one can subvert that with cheap foreign or slave labor. President Trump ostensibly looks out for ordinary non-rich Americans. So no Mexican laborers should be allowed to arrive into the nation to take jobs that should be done by Americans- and will if wages are allowed to rise and attract people from other parts of the U.S..
Cheap Mexican labor is of especial benefit to the rich and labor exploiters that can hire them. Ordinary Americans are left to just lose benefits from federal revenues and get nothing else of benefit from the disaster. The leftist media of course tries to benefit Mexico when disaster strikes the U.SA., advocating for floods of foreign workers to be let in.
