Windflier: “An honest American can no longer even make a living in some trades in this state.”

You can say that again, and it doesn’t only apply to Texas. Try hiring a roofing or concrete company in Oklahoma. Good luck finding a crew that speaks English.

I've invested the last 30 years of my life in the construction trades, and it kills me to see what our federal government has allowed to happen to this once great industry.

Seen any young Americans apprenticing in the trades lately? When's the last time you heard rock and roll blasting on a construction site?

I can't go on......I get too upset talking about this.
