Eh? You don't know me so well as you think. I did not vote for him. At any rate it's not mere rhetoric, it's very real. Industries like construction and agriculture routinely pay immigrant workers (legal or illegal, they don't care) very little, usually under the table with no benefits. It's abusive to the immigrants too, and I quite firmly support measures to ensure equal protection for ALL employees, whether here legally or not, but nobody's interested in enforcing such things. But what would I know? I've only lived here my entire life and know folks and have family who operate such businesses and have to hire mexicans themselves because they have no choice since everyone else does and hence can operate at cheaper rates. It's far easier to sit and call it "Rhetoric" while ignoring the problem entirely I suppose.
