You're not kidding. Pulte homes is building behind me. While most activity has stopped, for awhile last summer, all I heard was Spanish. Hard workers, and lots of laughter I must say though. I have heard that once they get into a jobsite, they work to get their own hired, and push whites out by making them feel unwelcome.

I went into a Carl's Jr. the other day, and all five workers there, from cooks to cashier to busboys, were native Mexican, and both times that I ordered food, the accents of the two cashiers were so heavy that I could barely understand them...and everything they said to each other as they worked was in Spanish. It was bizarre, it felt like I was in Tijuana!

It seemed like Carls Jr. is discriminating against native-born Americans. Our Latino population here is probably 1%, so how else could a crew of six people ALL be Mexican-born workers with extremely heavy accents if they weren't deliberately onlyhiring Lations?

You can change the "heard" to CONFIRMED!

And not just construction, many other industries as well, and even towns when they can get away with it.

I was going to open a Block-Buster account today, but turned around when the Spanglish sign on the door was as large as the "Welcome" in English.
