Politically incorrect to be sure, but the illegals are bugging the snot out of me.
I don't hire day laborers, period but there are no lack of people who do. You work at a big box home improvement store they are in there all the time in some form and I deal with them on every single shift. People are people, if I had a Babel fish in my ear and had zero communications problems I have absolutely no doubt I'd find that some are normal, some are not, some are just stupid and some are just a******s. Typical Bell curve.
I'm not going to give a scared kid with a list a hard time, I'll give him what's on the list. If someone can't speak English I am patient. Spanish isn't the only language I don't understand. Had an elderly Chinese man use some sort of app to translate which he had ready before he approached me and got what he wanted quickly. What particularly irks me is young men who show up who appear to be day laborers and illegal as hell unable to speak to me and are kind of arrogant about it.
A young kid shows up speaking German or Russian is shit out of luck but these guys expect to be catered to because they are. No need to speak the language, no need to follow the rules and laws I do, pay taxes or anything. In fact I'll just pay for them after they just show up because we just opened the doors and let them all in. If I object or point out the relative insanity of this I am obviously a racist, unenlightened and should be canceled.
Today specifically what's up my ass right now is they have no need to get a vaccination or wear a mask but I sure as hell do despite having had the virus and the vaccine.
There is a parallel to gun control. Rules are for people who follow rules and when you want to be seen 'doing something about the problem' burden them with some more rules and don't worry if they make any sense or not.. The people who fail to follow them won't care
