“What is it with those Mississippi boys?”
The allure of a source of cheap labor combined with a work ethic.
Cheap labor is available here in abundance, but it is very, very, very slothful and incompetent as a rule. I am attempting some buildout which is a simple renovation. I am on the ninth contractor, and considering a tenth as the project has stalled out yet again.
Illegals would have finished the project long ago and moved on. That is the allure.
The GOP wants cheap labor. The Democrats want cheap vote fraud. Per usual, a choice between poisons.
Slavery.
