Lotsa welfare collectors in NC.

Tell their case workers to call all their “clients” and let them know that jobs await them.

Gee I wonder if the construction companies were paying below-minimum wage?

Re-create the WPA and fill its ranks with able-bodied Americans who would otherwise be on welfare.

The owners of the construction companies should be prosecuted for hiring people illegally and have their businesses confiscated under RICO statutes for running criminal enterprises.

“Construction business owners are losing money everyday that the latino workforce is out of work, as building projects are stalled.”

Boo hoo

How about obeying the law and employing people legally.

Sounds like ICE needs to do much more work in Charlotte.

The rats are hiding.

“CONSTRUCTION SITES EMPTY ACROSS CHARLOTTE DUE TO FEAR OF ICE RAIDS”

guess they’ll have to jack pay up to living wage levels to attract native-born workers ... didn’t “living wages” USE to be a big Dem rallying cry? ... oh, yeah, and unions USE to be big too with the Dems ...

Most of them were probably working off the books.

Yup - while ICE is doing good things, it’s still barely scratching the surface, especially in the construction industry.

My daughter is a restaurant assistant manager. We discussed this off and on. She has to check to make sure the SS# is legitimate. Sometimes workers are off a digit. But if it’s not associated with the worker’s name, they tell him and if not resolved, they are let go.

Nope. Standard rate is $20-$25 an hour. Nobody’s working for six dollars an hour anymore. That’s a myth.
