"...who are the roofers? That's hard labor — the Americans don't want it."

Americans aren't roofers? The guys who roofed my last house sure seemed to be American. Americans don't work construction? Vamos, vato.

My roofers were American also. All trades here have to ahve a county license or the building permit is invalid.

I was one of the two American roofers who re-roofed our house last summer. We approached several contractors to give us bids. Only one showed up to even look at the house and he never came back w/ a bid. Tear-off, re-roof jobs go to the end of the line when there's sufficient new construction to keep the contractor boys busy.
