Check this out. It appears Rudy’s house may have been built by illegal aliens.

[snip] Visits to several ongoing Farrell jobs in December found a work force that was entirely Latino except for the project manager directly employed by Farrell. At one major site on Halsey Lane in Bridgehampton, an Ecuadorian who was working on the roof of a guesthouse insisted that he and his two non-English-speaking companions were legal. Employed by a roofing company called Cedar Design, he said that he thought “all of the other people here are illegal.” Asked how he knew that, the worker said that the Americans stopped working at noon on Friday, three hours before the The Voice visit. Pressed as to who was illegal, he pointed in the direction of a dozen or so people, all of whom appeared to be Latino, who were working on the foundation of the main house.

Sister Margaret Smyth, a Catholic nun who works with undocumented workers in the Hamptons, said that she’d recently won a $1,000 claim against a subcontractor, Hampton Brick Works, who hired a bricklayer to build a 42-foot chimney for a Farrell house and then refused to pay him. The bricklayer was undocumented. Farrell acknowledged that he used the contractor, though he said he’d only recently begun giving the firm business. Brick chimneys are a signature feature of Farrell’s homes, and Giuliani’s house has three of them. Tom Wedell, a leader of the Anti-Illegal Immigrant Association, says that he’s seen Hampton Brick Works come to the 7-Eleven store in Southampton and pick up illegal workers......

Farrell says that Giuliani first came to him “a year and a half to two years” before he bought the house, inquiring about a possible purchase. Farrell says he got to know Giuliani by driving him around to other sites, and that Giuliani worked his way up from the $1 million price range to the $3.2 million that he ultimately paid. That kind of protracted contact gave Giuliani plenty of opportunity to make the same sort of observations about Farrell’s workforce as the The Voice did over the course of a couple of weeks.

Notice that Giuliani is hitting largely Hispanic congregations, while igonoring black and white churches.

Thanks for that link - Looks like Rooty has some 'splaining to do :-)

BUT there's more there on the 1st page, links to Rooty's other 'Illegal Issues'.

If your house was built in the last 10 years, I think chances are pretty good an illegal worked on it.
