They use that old lie “locals don’t want to do this kind of work” failing to add “at the wages I want to pay”.
Their business depended on below-market wages so they’re upset locals demand a fair share.
It’s kinda like how gun nuts always leave out the “well regulated” bit when they talk about their constitutional right to bear arms. (Important note: sane, empathetic, rational gun owners are not “gun nuts”. It’s not my intent to tar all gun hobbyists with the same brush).
