Skilled construction labor is never coming back. The market has always been the determining factor of labor costs, not the supply of available labor. If we kicked out every Mexican, we’d just have niggers or retarded white people doing the same shit work.

Construction workers in current year don’t posses the innate skills required to be proficient at framing. Inb4 “I frame houses and I’m good at it.” You’re also too retarded to understand generalizations.

The class of people you see building houses are just smart enough to work as general labor. That is, they can feed themselves and won’t drown in the bathtub. But farm labor was mechanized eons ago, so they moved to factories. That was a great move for many; some really are smarter than the next guy and can handle more than just taking boxes from a conveyor belt and placing them in a bigger box.

Of course, factory work was offshored to Asia. That left an entire class of retards without a way to earn money. So now they have three viable choices: become a homeless drug addict (very popular), drive a truck, or “muh trades.”

It’s why so many homeowners take on simple projects despite not wanting to waste the time. Why would I set a toilet or hang a door myself when I could easily afford to pay someone else and time is the most precious resource? Because whatever dumbfuck they send over won’t be able to do it correctly because he’s borderline retarded.
