2. I absolutely agree. Watch and see.
They built our houses, too. I am an anti-illegal immigrant liberal. A flooded and unregulated labor market benefits only capitalists. Plus explosive growth is just plain bad policy.

7. And health problems, deaths, lung damage, skin breakdown
among these workers won't matter at all, because the U.S. health system won't have to pay for the care. If they want to die, they can just go home to do it.

No problem because no accountability because no sense of humanity whatsoever. None.

9. first offer all cleanup jobs to local residents of a given area - as in
locals to New Orleans or Mississipi, then to "outsiders" of any persuasion. All according to prevailing wage laws.
