And...I know a great many Americans who do construction work, some in my family.
So before you make a blanket statement about work that Americans "WILL NOT DO" in support of illegal immigrants you'd best check your facts.
Perhaps you intended to add a qualifier, but your statement as written was demonstrably FALSE in the context of the story to which you were responding.
There's your "And".
When you're wiped out of home and all worldly possessions, one would expect some eagerness rebuild and move on - at any cost, "substandard" be damned. And yes, that may involve "construction" work which appears to be beneath many of those in NO who sit back and refuse to do the work now done by illegals. I fail to see where anyone can condemn anyone willing to do work others see beneath them, especially when it is to repair/construct damage by natural disasters. The idea that there is a standard that some must adhere to while refusing the put their lives back together is beyond me.
Get my facts straight? I get my info from national news outlets, MSM included. No, I haven't been there to see for myself like i haven't jumped off a cliff to see the results of the sudden stop in the end.
The hoity-toity attitude about construction work seems a bit over the top. Who hasn't done construction work or have family in construction?
I stand by what I said in relation to this story. The lazy SOBs sitting in their fat hind ends deserve to be criticized for work they refuse to do. Let those who are willing do the job and get paid for it, more the better.
