Do not know what is situation in US exactly, but here in some eastern parts of EU there is difference between not wanting to work that job or the pay being very low. Many native people won t work those jobs for such a low pay so like in country I live they go to countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland where the job is well paid, but it is not very viable option because of too many migrants there and standard falling. Because of that and lack of work force that are both result of corruption, greed and big business collussion with goverment, goverment and buisnesses started importing nepalese, indians, philipines and arabs that work low paying jobs like construction, taxi, resturants, etc..and there is constant ilegal migration towards the west so if they get caught they seek asylum and are free to walk in the country without any background check, majority being unskilled labor. Thanks to Dublin Agreement that says migrants will be deported and returned to first EU country they are found, illegals and the worst kind of offenders are being deported to eastern parts of EU that are probably planned to be asylum centers for migrants because they are bordering non EU countries. Those who work are working cheaply and are being used by their employers but still they find it great because that pay is like theirs country 3 4 pays. It all results in erosion of standards, if there were no migrants buisnesses would have to give higher pay, and in small amounts to higher crime rate because now it is not so high in the beginning and it is hidden so public does not react, but for a small country whose numbers are declining and those migrants are rising because they make children like in factory, and are planning to import one million of them by 2030, it is a serious problem for smaller countries because in 5, 10 years if trend continues we would become minority and die off, luckily other factors will kick in and won t see it. Here they do taxi and 5 of them work on one driver license and get new ones and do not how to even drive, it is a circus, they even do not know any language, many not even english, you have to communicate in foreign language. Two years ago you could not see any migrants here and now there is no place they are not, it was done all by disguise, and number being bigger then formal ones. How would you be treated in those countries? Would be shoot at the sight for illegal crossing. Those taxi drivers when driving drunk girls at night when they fall asleep start touching them, those indians do not want to listen women when they say something because it is not in their culture, some preaching kuran to children while driving them. It all happened thanks to corrupt goverment, big buisness greed and listening to dictates of globalists and passivity, apathy, stupidity of people thinking it will get better by itself and they won t bare the consequences of goverment free hands last 30 years without any major opposition by people like in the time of corona.Speaking of illegal Mexicans, they work in the service sector. It is almost impossible to get a visa to get a job if you are an unskilled worker, not so for science & Economist professionals. Both governments are not very interested in solving the problem either because of the remittances of dollars coming into the country, cheap labor in the agricultural sector or keeping jobs, which Americans do not want.
According to the IA:
Mexicans working in the United States are employed in a wide variety of jobs, among them:
Manufacturing
Transportation and material moving
Construction
Maintenance and services
Production
Building cleaning and maintenance
Food preparation and service
Staff for restaurants, bars or cafeterias
Hotel and tourism agency staff
Event personnel.

Trump possibly does what he does because of pressure from the MAGA base to appease the most radical. Opportunity taken by some Americans to show the worst in their soul.
Of course it is a crime comparable to an administrative offense when the worker is only there to work and not to commit a crime such as murder or worse. That was Petro's request and here is the truth: The president did NOT refuse to receive his Colombian nationals, he simply demanded that they be treated humanely and Trump accepted it. Problem solved. The MAGA base saw it as a big win.
It's just about showing humanity, that's all. Don't forget your humanity, because you will surely need it or remember it someday.
