Doing the nail gunning Americans are too lazy and unmotivated to do. FWIW Mexicans (legal-illegal) are taking over a lot of the home construction business. They do all the roofing here along with some Black Caribbeans

Dang!
People around me turned white when I pulled a staple out of the palm of my hand. I was helping a friend hang some insulation, set the "easy shot" staple gun down to adjust it, picked the gun up, braced it with my palm, and "blam!"
Only problem was, there was no staple in the insulation. Pried the staple out with a screwdriver, slapped some peroxide and a bandaid on my palm, and went back to work. Meanwhile, folks were turning pale around me and couldn't watch.
I can only imagine what the response would have been if something this dramatic had happened!

A good friend of mine fell on one of those pointy metal things that stores hang things on. It went right into her eye. She pulled it out and called her husband (not 9-11). She never lost consciousness. I can barely keep from passing out when I think about it.

Originally from a town near Acapulco, Mexico, Franco has been in the construction business for about three weeks, Ocampo said. Any reason why the police would be involved in a work related accident? I think there is more maybe.

In many districts it is standard operating procedure for the police to go on all emergency runs. They make sure the situation is not a criminal activity. Many firemen and EMTs have been attacked respnding to 9-11 calls.

I'd bet a week's salary that he's an illegal.
