I understand what you are saying but you have not seen the bigger picture. I'll get to that in a moment.

It is true that alot of American youth are spoiled and need a boxing about the ears over work ethics.

I also have construction projects where I use alot of Ukrainians and they are all legal. They don't speak English but they try to and they improve over time. They are the hardest workers I have ever seen. They are also very appreciative of America and they want their children to have a better life. I pay them far above minimum wage and they know it. In return they give alot of quality work and if they screw a job up they redo it the right way on their time and they volunteer this, I don't have to ask them.
Now the key thing is they are completely legal.

When you go hire an illegal border crosser, you are hiring a lawbreaker and behind that lawbreaker is a movement of lawbreakers that are jamming this country's social infrastructure. The costs far outweigh the benefits.

You may think that you save money on construction but you are causing government budgets to swell unnecessarily.

If you were made responsible for the number of times your illegal worker's extended family showed up at the local ER, or you had to show up in court for their traffic infractions or accidents or you had to pay for the food stamps their family members are receiving and so on, then...

your costs would quadruple.

So the bottomline is you are thieving from society by supporting lawbreakers.

Get right with the law and hire a ***legal*** immigrant.

Like I said in numerous posts...I didn't hire illegals to the best of my knowledge...they had a green car, SS and DL [probably forged...how am i supposed to tell?]

Like I said....in numerous posts...amnesty sucks

Like I said in numerous posts...I got out of the business for numerous reasons, one being the legal/illegal issue was too much to deal with and I didn't feel like breaking the law...

Like I said in numerous posts...
And I stand by my early statement...In Marin County...Hispanics are what is available. There aren't street corners full of Eukranians, Russians, Blacks, Whites or Martians who want to work....its Hispanics

And Like I said in numerous posts...somthing has to be done about it...

The first thing is to seal the border with UAV's and Marines if need be....then we need to find a way to allow people willing to work to come to this country and not get free handouts...

As far as I am concerned, Hispanics are good people with good values...thats my experience....

Quit branding me as some law breaker...there is no labor hall, there is no employment office where you can get labor on the fly when you need it....
