Everytime I call a landscaper or have roof work done, they send me foreigners that don't speak English. I wonder if there are any Americans still out there that mow lawns, rake leaves or do roofing.

I guess we'll find out if Trump gets elected.

I work with some landscapers and carpenters. The lower level guys mostly seem to be foreigners, but the higher up the skill set you go, the more Americans.

Yes there are but they won’t work for $5.00 an hour, so they don’t get hired by companies.

I got a local 29 year old been doing work for me for past three years at my house. Not illegal or Hispanic. I pay better than $5.00 an hour though.

“I wonder if there are any Americans still out there that mow lawns, rake leaves or do roofing.”

In Texas the answer is CLEARLY NO. But then we have an army of millenials with useless college educations and huge debt. Make them a deal - they spend 2 months in Harbaugh’s training camp working off the flab of 25 years of video games and then pay them $20 to work a REAL JOB, out in the field, with that money being enough to start burning down the debt from their useless college degrees.
