After Hurricane Katrina President Bush flooded the south with undocumented workers from Mexico and wherever to work for any wages along the Gulf coast. That policy might be a southern tradition of exploiting labor for the least possible recompense, yet it was bad for U.S. workers.
The
Democratic Party is made of doper-dummies regarding labor value
theory. Rebuilding after hurricane Harvey will require a lot of
labor. Hundreds of thousands or millions of northerners are
unemployed or have poorly paying jobs or even are unemployed and
would travel south for the winter to rebuild Texas after Hurricane
Harvey if the wages were good and jobs readily available. Democrats
used to be a party that understood labor and especially union labor,
yet they undoubtedly will demand that tens of thousands of Mexican
undocumented aliens be allowed to work in Texas for below minimum
wage through waivers.
In
the real, adult world of labor wage values supply and demand for
labor set prices- unless one can subvert that with cheap foreign or
slave labor. President Trump ostensibly looks out for ordinary
non-rich Americans. So no Mexican laborers should be allowed to
arrive into the nation to take jobs that should be done by Americans-
and will if wages are allowed to rise and attract people from other
parts of the U.S.A.
There are numerous deleterious consequences for flooding regions of the U.S.A. with cheap foreign labor that continue for years after the work demand subsides. Consider just one effect; that of letting Mexican destroy surplus jobs and short labor supply through waivers; the black cradle to prison pipeline recidivism will not change as blacks on parole won't be able to easily find a lawful, productive and rewarding job rebuilding after Katrina. At any given time there are 7 million Americans in the prison and parole system. Several thousand on parole should be given waivers and supervision to work in the south if wages rise to make that worthwhile. They should not comprise a prison work-gang population, instead they should be no more than 10% of the regular American civilian workforce taking temporary jobs rebuilding from Harvey. Since it costs 35,000 annually to imprison people in the U.S.A. keeping them from going back to the big house is economically desirable.

Cheap
Mexican labor is of especial benefit to the rich and labor exploiters
that can hire them. Ordinary Americans are left to just lose benefits
from federal revenues and get nothing else of benefit from the
disaster. The leftist media of course tries to benefit Mexico when
disaster strikes the U.SA., advocating for floods of foreign workers
to be let in.
