I have a foreigner from Venezuela (probably 35 years old) who bought the 10 acre field next to mine (for $240,000) He started a concrete company and requests payment in cash. His wife started a tax service and he is her “customer”. He speaks very little English. His wife and crew speak no English. He drives a brand new F-350 dually and is building what looks like a 3,000 sq ft home on his $240,000 lot. Imagine that. You drop yourself into a country totally foreign to you. You have whatever money you scraped together before leaving your 3rd world shithole. You don’t speak the language and know only the other foreigners from your clan who arrived before you. You want to start a business? That requires capital, advertising, business licensing, employees, a reputation. You cannot tell me these people are doing this without serious help: preferred loans, grants, subsidies, tax avoidance. I’ve started 3 businesses. One thing I’ll tell you is it has been like pulling teeth over the years getting a loan for ANYTHING when you own a small business, unless you have YEARS of solid tax returns to show. But this guy someone got financed for raw land, plus a construction loan, probably $750,000 in total? And it’s not just him. It seems like every brand new truck at the gas station is being driven by a foreigner with no English. This is not envy. We are very clearly being invaded and someone is helping the enemy army with my tax dollars. 2 years ago I lost a very lucrative contract to a crew of Hispanic foreigners who we outperformed by every metric (including pricing), all because the customer’s management was also Hispanic foreigners. But we’ve all held our nose because we were told they were all going home. What a crock of bullshit that was. So yeah people are about to snap, and when they do it’s going to be biblical.
