[Bonaparte]

When I've needed work done here at the house, I've consistently sent back workers who don't speak English and let their boss know the contract is going to somebody else.

Good for you Bonaparte! Other's do not get that and keep hiring. My MIL is the best Christian you ever want to know. She worked many years in this place as the only American and vainly tried to fight the illegals hired by another illegal who took over. When she gave her notice two weeks ago, she told her boss, now you can have what you wanted, no American's.

That's funny! I had over $18,000.00 worth of trees planted last spring by a local landscaper. When I met him he had three helpers....all english speaking and clean cut. He shows up the day to start digging with like 8 or 10 people who looked like they've been sleeping in cardboard boxes for a week ot two. None of them spoke a word of English. Since one of my best friends was driven out of business the previous year because he steadfastly refused toi hire illegals, this kinda hit home. Well, landscaping guy had two trailers loaded with trees......so I asked him "Hey....am I paying American prices"? He looked at me funny and said "yes". I told him he had three hours to go find some Americans to dig holes in my lawn, otherwise this contract (which I had in my hand) was going to be turned into confetti....and any money he WOULD have gotten from me would be sucked up by lawyers fees! I told him the only other option he had was to reduce the price of the labor charges by 2/3rds.....needless to say, he wasn't too happy with me.
He was back in less than an hour with an American crew.

To those of you peeps who think I'm racist, screw you. It's still somewhat of a free country...an if I feel like standing up for fellow Americans, I'll do it every darned time!
