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

You don’t know their citizenship status sparky. Kind of racist too to assume that.

[ScottinVA]

Not all are illegals; some work here on guest worker visas. Meanwhile, millions of American “workers” sit on their asses collecting “stimulus” money.

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.

[The Louiswu]

Don’t know their immigration status

[CodeToad]

I just needed carpets replaced. Fast. Legal Mexican immigrants did the job and did it well. The hardwood floors were resurfaced by two Americans. Awesome job. My point? We take the services that we can get when we need them and we are finding Americans are sitting out and are unavailable.

You have no way of knowing that.

Really, that was a bit asinine. The people adding to the problem are lazy ass citizens who are either too lazy or stupid to do manual labor. You can argue all you want but you would be wrong. Anecdotally, my auto mechanic and body shop owners both finally bit the bullet and hired Mexicans. Why? The mechanic has fired three American mechanics in the last year for shoddy work that cost him money and customers. The young Mexican mechanic works hard and has been well trained. Oh, by the way he is in the country legally. The Body Shop owner subcontracted engine and upholstery to two American shops. The engine shop took 8 months to rebuild my engine only to discover they never really rebuilt it. The engine was sent to a shop owned by a Mexican and will be done next month. The Mexican shop has a good reputation for the custom work they do. Not sure if they are all legal, but for the money they do better work. Same with upholstery. American shop did half ass work on one of my cars. I refused to let them touch my custom truck. The Body Shop owner, found a local shop owned by a Mexican, they repaired the $hit job on the car and are doing my truck seats. Oh, the owner is legal and he travels to Mexico annually to buy leather and other stuff cheaper. He passes those savings on to the shops that contract him. He personally trains his workers which are a mix of local kids of all races and nationality. He does have a Mexican crew, are they all legal, I do not know but they do great work. However, some people who make asinine comments refuse to use him because, well he must be illegal because he is Mexican. To be fair, I have two auto shops I use. One is all locals, older guys, good mechanics, but try in get your car in. There is a wait list because good mechanics are so hard to find. Face reality, the Puritan work ethic that built this country is lost on a majority of the last two generations. But, those pesky Mexicans still seem to have it.

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.

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.

[Mathews]

Had my yard re-sodded last year. Crew of four with a supervisor. One young white guy, one older black guy, and two youngish hispanics with an older hispanic supervisor. I don’t want to stereotype, but what I saw is what I saw... three were busting azz, one was on his phone the whole time and the other only drove the lull. He just sat there in the lull until they needed a new pallet off the truck.

[Nifster]

Precisely

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

How do YOU know that?

[Rebelbase]

It’s a tough choice. Illegal aliens or drug addicts and felons.
