My comment was misleading. Mexicans are not just "working" construction jobs. They virtually occupy the entire field. In fact, they perform most of the manual labor in California. You might see "gringo" foremen at a job site occasionally, but that is it. These jobs used to support American families. Now they help illegal Mexican journeymen.
This inundation of cheap labor has aggravated -- or is a principal cause of -- the problems working class Americans are experiencing.
