Paragraphs are our friends

If they don’t speak English then the are taking jobs from Americans. Don’t complain about welfare etc. if you are good with this. Don’t add hypocrisy to your sins...

We’ve had American crews work at our place (except for one crew which had a Cuban and a Honduran) but that’s getting more difficult. In our area there are a huge number of people on social security disability/welfare for being drug addicts. It seems to pay really well.
One of those guys started a small business after he got out of jail and did a good job. He went back to jail shortly after for dealing drugs.
I overheard a couple of landscape guys chatting and one said to the other that he didn’t want people applying who were on a first name basis at drug rehab, they don’t show up to work.

How so?

[Osage Orange]

WOW!! How so?

“Congratulations, you are adding to the problem by providing employment for illegal aliens.

If you are forced to hire help to do construction or lawn maintenance, there is no other choice.”

I hired a roofing company specifically because they had a 100% American crew on a previous job they did for me. A 100% NOT American crew showed up. I didn’t realize it until they were well into the job because they sent an American to talk to me while the crew was getting started. .

Again, I hop the roof caves in while Lou is inside. Even better.

If illegal immigrants are coming in, and they won’t be stopped by current administration, I hope they are all Mexicans/central americans and south americans, because they do have a very strong work ethic. Latinos don’t want to come to america to be on welfare, they want to make enough money so they can have a wife and support a family, something they value more than most people on this planet. We also have shared customs, religions, etc, PLUS Latinos assimilated wonderfully into our culture, as opposed to say, Muslims, who never assimilate.

We paid a premium price for the best shingles we could buy.
The company owner said he had operated with American born guys but they didn’t always show up for work.

[The Louiswu]

That’s not good logic. You have to speak English to be an American?

[lastchance]

You assume he didn’t try finding an other company or workers. You also assume that he didn’t hire a company and these are employees. Not every non English speaking worker is here illegally.

I AM HEARING FROM MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE SKILLED TRADES THAT, “NOBODY WANTS TO WORK” This is for work that pays well and offers the chance to learn a skill you can use just about anywhere. So if a job needs to get done and you can find hard working capable people to do the job and get it done on time and within budget it does not make sense to keep a job undone.

Honesty I am not too worried over the ones who come over here and work their tails off. They should of course be documented and temporary visas issued. I often thought a sort of exchange with Mexico and Central American countries should be implemented. In exchange for every 1 worker we send them three welfare lifers.

[central_va]

You abetted undercutting of the US workforce. If they are here illegally. The Sgt Shultz I don’t know excuse is BS. You sound like an Auschwitz guard.

[lastchance]

Read is post. He is not the one paying them.

[Sirius Lee]

Sounded like the start of a joke...

The joke is that our government is paying Americans to sit around on their asses just so long as they vote demoncrap, and letting illegals in just as long as they vote demoncrap, and letting landscaper outfits violate a dozen laws that, if they were American workers, would land the landscaper business owner in jail.

The biggest joke of all is that so-called "Conservatives" are cheering it on and can't figure out why the Republicans they vote for keep helping the demoncraps destroy America once they get in office.

Funny stuff.

Again, I’ll pray for you and your family to have good health and an abundance of happiness forever.

I don’t know their immigration status, Honest Abe Roofing out of Terre Haute IN hired them, not me

[Rockingham]

My cousin in the Atlanta area has such a work crew for his construction business. He pays them well and is trying to get them green cards. And he is making them into Trump style Republicans.

[T Ruth]

No Americans hereabout to do this work. Where are they ?

62 million abortions since Roe v. Wade in 1973.

[central_va]

That’s not good logic. You have to speak English to be an American?

The opposite is true. If you speak English with no accent I am pretty sure you are an American. About 90% sure. BTW I consider this whole post hate speech on your part. It bad enough we have to put up with this invasion but bragging about it is a bridge too far.

What workforce, the kids sitting on their butts waiting on their stimmy checks?
