Few days ago i was talking to a friend of mine about the take over by Somalis in the Taxi business in Bristol. I took a taxi from his place and the taxi driver was a Somali man. He has been in Bristol and UK about an year. He has been a taxi driver for three months. He did not know his way. He was depending on the sat nav and that is bloody Merican init?
Anyway I told my friend that at the rate unemployment is going around in UK these guys will not last long, as there will be lots of local people trying for these 'menial' jobs. I wonder whether he agreed or not. Today I read this news item from US of bloody A.
LOS ANGELES — A year ago, a day-laborer center adjacent to a Home Depot here teemed with Latin American immigrants who showed up and found a sure day's work painting, gardening or hauling.
These days, more than immigrants are packing the Hollywood Community Job Center: Unemployed Americans are joining them. There's little work for anybody.
"Everybody is coming to look for work," Rene Jemio, outreach coordinator for the hiring hall, told the Wall Street Journal. "It's not just your average immigrant anymore; it's African-Americans and whites, too."
Unemployed Americans Competing With Immigrant Labor for Unskilled Jobs
Well the question is will it be the same in UK? I think it will be for sure!
