I was eating at the Cheesecake Factory last year and asked the manager how it was going in light of the pandemic. He said OK except his Hispanic workers had all quit. I said why? He said they left to become plumbers and roofers. I thought to myself those are skilled occupations. Are there all of a sudden a bunch of openings in these fields due to the pandemic? How can they do these jobs? And where are these jobs?
I also noticed, along with others, that local fast food restaurants that used to be staffed with Spanish speaking or barely English speaking Hispanics were looking for employees. Where did all of the Hispanic service workers go? Now I’m seeing finally seeing pay raises in this sector, after having been supressed for so long by the flood of illegals, with a bunch of American kids (high schoolers?) working there and getting some job experience.
Then I read where the pandemic money meant for small businesess and workers was stolen by the hundreds of billions.
Question: Did the restaurant workers who left to become plumbers and roofers, etc. leave to start phony plumbing and roofing businesses with pandemic small business loans from the government, rip the money off then leave for Mexico to live like kings? Biden was touting just how many multitudes of small businesses had actually started during the pandemic, which seems odd.
How about unemployment pay fraud? It is well known that there is wide-spread documentation fraud: ID’s, permits, licenses amongst the illegal alien community. Mexico, Central and South America, foster fraud to significant levels in their respective countries. Mexico in particular.
