Yes, I know they are, I know the pool repair guy and satellite service guy who lost their businesses to these guys who hire under the table. I also know a LOT of old line construction companies that had to fold up and go away because they were honorable men who refused to break the law for a buck. These "entreprenures" killed the lively hood for a lot of Americans.I have watched these guys take their illegal workers to the license bureau to get a license and then have them hand it over to them right outside the door.I have spent 65 years in Arizona, I love the Mexican people and their culture has been part of our culture forever, but what we have coming in now is not the same people at all. They are thugs and who take advantage of their workers. I personally know one guy who went to work for one of these "hard working guys". He was supposed to be paid $700.00 but when the time came to pay him all he got was $300.00 and was told that's all he was getting.
Don't even attempt to tell me about these wonderful businessmen and women. Some are I am sure, but the majority are laughing at people like you who defend them while they are putting your boss out of business.
I constantly hear people saying that the illegals are taking simple, menial jobs. Those people do not understand the situation. You obviously do. You know, as I was trying to point out, that they are business owners not just day laborers.
We are making the same point I just did not put it as well as you did. Again, anyone that thinks they are coming here and just taking jobs Americans will not do does not understand. They are taking businesses that Americans once had.
Sorry if I was not clear in my original post.
