Noticed any decrease in the price of new houses even though many Mexicans have replaced American contractors.....noticed the crap work they do also?

Yes I have, scabby doesn't begin to describe their slop artist, speedy gonzales, $hit work. Can't get a job as a contractor with an honest bid in the residential sector hardly, specially if you don't speak wetback.

Bush better get off his high horse on this one!

Not surprised.....some of the workmanship I've seen is a joke.

I beg to differ on the quality of Mexican labor.

Maybe it's different in the cities, but out here in rural (Western) North Carolina where I live, the Mexicans do top-notch work - much better than the Gringos.

Not only that, they show up on time every day and work hard all day long. They don't bitch, either - it's obvious that they are happy to have a job (sorta' like Americans used to be.)

I hate to tell y'all, but the contractors here prefer Mexicans because they are better workers, not because they are cheaper.

Like I said, maybe it's different where you live.

I wonder how much of that crap work is permitted and inspected?
