"Illegal immigration is not a "fighting" issue for me. I've had too much experience with illegals who worked their butts off after I couldn't get legal workers to do a job right."
Oh, I see. I just asked someone about that yesterday. I said that it just wasn't adding up and that the only reason I could think of for someone, especially a Republican, to be ok with breaking our immigration laws and, given all of the negatives associated with 12 million illegal aliens in this country, would have to be for very personal reasons, such as family (someone in or close to their family is an illegal alien) or they employee them.
But I used two crews (most of whom, I suspect, were illegals) two years ago to do the tile and general remodeling work on my house. I had two Anglo guys put down a wood floor. The difference in the quality of the work and the speed with which it was done was like night and day.
And the attitudes displayed when I asked for something to be redone or indicated I didn't like the way it was done were also different.
I also have a maid who, I suspect, is illegal. She does a better job than the Anglo maid I had to fire (for not showing up when she said she would), for the same money, and I don't have to listen to constant complaining.
