“My house in Georgia was built by illegals.”
Almost any house built in the last 15 or so years has been built by either illegals or unqualified labor.
If I remember correctly, the argument was that Americans wouldn’t do the job as cheaply as the illegals would. I also remember being told that if builders were required to pay American labor rates that houses wouldn’t be affordable.
My house cost me thousands in repairs...As for affordability, I hear that argument all the time, but maybe having a thriving American construction industry is more important then saving money by building crap houses. My house in the Mid West I just sold (transferred to Ohio) was built three years ago by American workers. It was cheaper than the house in Georgia so I don’t think this cost thing is necessarily true. I think the building companies don’t pass any savings to the consumers but pocket the profit. What they do is illegal and in my opinion these people are criminals.
