I hired a contractor. Like Tom Tancredo, I had no idea whether the people he hired were legal or not, nor did I care. But, if they were illegal, I can see why lots of Americans have mixed emotions about illegal immigration. I also wish he had hired illegals to do the flooring.

When Tom Tancredo accidentally did it, when he found out about his error he was upset that the error had been made and ensured that it would never happen again.

Yet your comments on it are a bit different. I'll quote:

"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. I think that's why lots of Americans are just not that upset with allowing illegals to remain in America after we close the borders. They've seen the work they do and their work ethic and admire it. "

That sounds like a glowing endorsement of using contractors who break the law and hire illegal aliens. I don't sense even a tiny bit of regret or remorse.

So, it begs the question, would you do it again? I mean, based upon your advertisement of using illegal labor because Americans suck so bad at it, assumptions can to easily be made. So, would you do it again? Be honest.

Why should I regret it?

Would I do it again?

Yes. I would hire the same contractor. In fact, I've recommended him to others, and the painting subcontractor to several people who were looking to have their houses painted.

Please if tancredo were true to his rhetoric, after he founbd out some illegal labor installed a theater in his basement, he would have invited the cameras and with a sledgehammer destroyed his basement theater because it was built with impure labor, according to tancredo "standards".
