Your rant is just too much......nothing anti-latino about my post. I made a reference to Jose' and Jose'B...from a Cheech Marin tape. He's Hispanic in case you weren't aware of it.

I guess I just conduct business with a higher caliber of people than you do. I do not under-bid my competitors. I put out an HONEST appraisal of the work I will do. Some jobs are $50,000.00 other jobs are $150,000.00 I do not low ball and I do not pad estimates. Maybe that's why I do not spend one single dollar on advertising, nothing, not even a yellow page add or a web site, yet I am booked 18 months out.

The contractor who just put an addition on my house was a straight and level (legit) dude. No undocumented workers were on the jobsite. The landscaper that planted $18,000 worth of trees on my property 2 summers ago TRIED to come in with a crew of illegals. I caught him out. I basically told him "Since you're getting your labor at a reduced (illegit) rate...you won't mind if I lop off about 50% off your estimate". He was not to thrilled at that prospect, since he had a flatbed full of trees parked in front of my home paid for on his dime. What wonders!

You know? he showed up with a whole different crew the following day.....LOL.

It's amazing what you can get done if you have a backbone and some principles.

You've never, ever answered my questions to you.

What on earth do YOU personally have against legitimate American law abiding business owners?

You're just as bad as the criminal border crossers.

So if any of the mills I buy from use Mexican labor I should not do business with them? We all applaud your attempt to avoid illegal labor, however some of your suppliers most likely use them as well as others down the line. If they don't they are importing from China and S America or Russia. That is the laws of Capitalism, lower costs equal lower prices equal more business. Congratualations on your business, mine just passed it's second year and doing very well.
