"Cheap labor
And as even the author of this piece points out, good labor.
Oh I forgot those people who grow food and build buildings are the epitomie of evil to some on FR."
What do you know about the construction industry?
As a contractor myself, I can attest to the shoddy (untrained) "workmanship" of illegal aliens on a construction project. I can do so because it is my job to come in behind these people to fix their screw-ups (and they are legion). I shouldn't complain, because I make some really good money doing what I do. I only say this because the average consumer ends up paying twice for what they should only have to pay for once.
Trust me, I would be just as happy doing something else besides straightening out the foul-ups of "Juan y Pedro", but someone has to do it. May as well be me.
And, NO, I do NOT "Se Habla". I'm an American. If I choose to relocate to the "Land of Enchaladas", then I will think about learning Mexican (Spanish IS different).
I have a Hispanic friend in construction who gripes about the quality of illegals' work.
A quick search will expose Dane as an "open border, cheap immigrant slave labor is good for the US" type.
You are correct about Illegals in the housing industry. A family I know just bought a new home from a large developer who uses lots of Illegals in their construction. Problems with this new home are too numerous to mention but suffice to say, the nerve racking experience of buying a new home was positively nightmarish. The capper was, some of these "good laborers" used my friends new home as their personal flop house. Toilets overflowing -no water on yet- and trash everywhere.
Was this house cheaper than those from other developers in the area who do not use illegal labor? Of course not.
I've been doing the same exact thing. Guess we're just "doing the jobs that no illegals will do right".
Excellent response!
