After all, who benefits?
The (illegal/criminal) person who steals it from a new built house.
The recycling center (who likely employs illegals) who buys the stolen copper and resells it.
The (largely illegal construction electricians and rough plumber) workers who have to install the copper wires and pipes again in the home where they were installed the first time.
The (largely illegal) carpenters and drywallers and painters who get paid twice for the same house ....
Must EVERY thread be about “il-LAY-gul” immigration?
