I have a solution. Put them on a plane and send them up here to Alaska. We desperately need workers. There is a serious shortage of all types of workers, especially in construction and day labor. I have 20 acres that have “beetle kill spruce” that needs to be cut down and processed into firewood and I cannot get anyone to do it for $25 hour. I supply the saw, gas, equipment to move the logs, hell, I’ll throw in food and drinks.
Send us the immigrants and make it mandatory to stay in Alaska for 10 years, felony free and they get citizenship. You can tell them that we have the Permant Fund and every year every man, woman and child gets paid by the State. More kids more money! Last year it was around $1,000. And there are no State taxes her in AK. We need “The Home Depot employment service” and our “taco truck” situation is sad. What a kiling they could make with a taco truck. House cleaners get crazy amounts of money. I looked into a cleaning service and they wanted $500 for the initial cleaning and $350 each time there after. There is also constant road construction and those guys get paid “Davis Bacon Wages”
We have lots of land and opportunitites up here, no tornados so mobile homes are guarentted to not get blown away. Summer time it’s light about 20 hours a day, think of the amount of work that can get done. Contrary to popular belief it is colder in New England, on average and many other parts of the lower 48 than in South Central Alaska.
Where is Gov. Abbott….he should have his National Guard standing shoulder to shoulder stopping these people from coming over. If a confrontation needs to happen between state and federal officials, so be it.
I don`t see Abbott doing anything other than using the issue as a political football. Sen. Cruz did go down for a nice photo op though….pfffft.
