So,I don’t get my house built,because I can’t afford the ridiculous prices,one bid 11 doors,$180,000.00,and they wanted $7.50 ft with me buying all the rock,the sand,the mortar,so it will cost me around 11.00 a ft, times 90X100X44,and then there is all the work inside.But it still doesn’t address the fact they will not,refuse to work that high.So you tell me you, sanctimonious, self righteous person,who shall I hire
.
I not only blackball illegals, I flat out REPORTED THEM.
When I was doing my landscaping contracts, only legal hard working people worked on them and they did a superior job at 80% the rate of other companies bidding on the job, who by the way WERE HIRING ILLEGAL DOUCHEBAG MEXICANS! I had one easy time getting people from Labor Ready, Manpower, etc. They were usually drunks, ex-cons, whoever. But they were legal and they did good work, especially when I made their working conditions enjoyable.
I can’t tell you how many companies I have had to FIRE over incompetant Mexican illegal trash work in the past, particularly in masonry. Half these boobs didn’t even know what rebar was for, nor how to mix cement properly, nor work at half the speed of normal workers. They knew they were cheap and didn’t give a crap about any quality because they had a nice window to go home to Mexico, no questions asked.
People who run into this kind of problem of “I can’t find ultra cheap people to do work but illegals” are obviously too lazy, too arrogant, or flat out too ignorant to dig a little deeper to find qualified, competant American workers who, by the way, will save money because they are faster and better at it. Not surprising. Not surprising at all. And this is why we continue to fail as a nation. Just wait until these illegals hurt themselves on your job site and they come and SUE YOU. How’s that for fun...
Why didn’t you just by a house that was already built? Lately I wonder why people breed dogs or pay $500 for them when there are so many already born that need homes. Same thing, why build a new house when you can buy one that is sitting vacant?
I don’t agree with hiring illegals. I have been active in the past with a group trying to get rid of them. BUT lately I am seeing how more and more people cannot afford to hire in some areas because of the prices they charge. My elderly parent’s furnace went out and the company wanted to charge them $85 just to come out and look. They can’t afford that. An illegal alien with the know-how would have probably done it for 20 bucks. There is far too much greed.
Slave wages. That’s what you are paying. Enjoy your house.
Well I guess you decided slave labor was the way to go.
Don’t build, you can’t afford it and are biting off too much.
Have a nice day.
