Four Mexicans are Fixing My Roof
Me | 10/13/21 | Me

Posted on 10/13/2021 8:10:28 AM PDT by The Louiswu

Right now there are four Mexican gents fixing my carport roof. I am amazed by the work ethic shown by these four men, they don’t chit chat, they don’t stand idle and smoke, they just work. My roof is going to get done today, weeks ahead of schedule by four men who barely speak any English. The jobs were there and they saw an opportunity and I hope they get paid well for their labors.

For the record I’m 60 with health issues and had to hire this job out, I’m not lazy, just grateful there are still hard working men in this country.

Conservatism doesn't need people like you who support an entire subclass of indentured servants. You're likely just a unipartisan.

We fought a civil war over 2-3 million people enslaved and lost 600k Americans over it. Now it's 25-30 million people in indentured servitude.

Guys like you are enablers of this evil system. It is time to excise you from our political alliance because you're more concerned about money than constitutionalism.

Unlike the unionized guys working for the highway department, with five guys leaning on shovels and one digging...very slowly.

I had to get a new roof a few years ago. Hired an Amish crew. They had Mexicans working for them.

Looks like you are catching a lot of flack for your post. The fact of the matter is that finding anyone in this society that is willing to do the kind of hard labor that these non-English speaking men are willing to do is nearly impossible.

Finding a college aged white English speaking man who is willing to go up on a roof in 90 degree weather and 60% humidity and rip off tiles and nail down tiles for $20 or even $30 an hour is an impossibility. The millennials would rather sit at home and collect free money from their government suppliers than engage in any work that might make them break a sweat.

I think for every illegal alien that crosses the border, we should deport a lazy millennial.

Our country is not being destroyed by the illegal aliens, It is being destroyed by white liberal citizens.

Admit it. If you were 20 years old and living in Guatemala, you be heading for Texas today, or you’d already be here.

Five years ago, a crew replaced the roof of the nursing home where my mother was living. They were all "Mexicans." Two years ago, I had my roof done; they were all "Mexicans" except the estimator, who was white. About the same time, my neighbor had his roof done; the crew were all "Mexicans."

Some of the crew who did my roof did not speak English. Were they illegals? Probably some, at least. Did they do a good job? So far, it seems like it. But if I wanted to find a roofing company that didn't have any illegals working for it, I'm not sure I could.

“they were all “Mexicans” except the estimator, who was white.”

That’s how it works, the company owner is a citizen, the estimators are citizens, the team leaders, English/Spanish speaking usually a citizen, the sort stocky guys up on the roof.. illegals.

That’s the way it works in FL.

I’m sure the White Guy who hired the Illegal who did the work got $400 of that $500.

Meanwhile, Millions of Legal American Workers in this Country don’t want to work since the Biden Regime has made work a second choice for them.

I am not going to attack the hard working possibly Illegal Crew who are fixing the OP’s Roof. They were invited in by our Tyrannical Government, put the blame where it belongs.

Yep, white owned, white estimator, English-speaking (bilingual) Hispanic foreman, and Spanish-speaking workers.

There are thousands of choices. Paying citizens what they’re worth rather than underpaying indentured servants is one of those choices. GOPeRINOs like that second choice.

He knows they’re Mexicans, from the title. They barely speak english. Mexican is NOT a race.

These are cultural issues, made all the worse by the enabling of GOPeRINOs who care very little about constitutionality but more about paying others a permanent substandard indentured servitude wage.

You committed a illegal act.

We live in a post-law nation. There is no reason to respect the so-called laws of this once great country.

Saw a yard sign:

Need Help?
Call on Jesus!

I did!

Next day a Mexican showed up and mowed my lawn.

Come to Manassas, Virginia, go to any of the older neighborhoods, and you’ll see just how hard working they are. The neighborhoods all look like trashy, run-down ghettos.
