My brother just built a house and 70% of the workers were hispanic who worked for American owners. They have lowered down the wages to 8-9.00 hour from $12-15.00

And what did your brother do with extra cash he saved?

You'd do better to ask the builder what he did with the extra cash since there's no way in hell he passed it onto the homeowner.

My brother was not cheering the lower cost. He was stating fact. As a matter of fact he sells employee benefits and lost many construction type firms over the last 5-10 years because they went belly up or can no longer afford to offer those benefits because they are now having to compete with cut rate wages. It has cost him more money than what he has saved.
