Guitars, milk sellers, farms, FFL’s, jet makers, Las Vegas, insurance companies... What’s missing from the list of hated groups?

Lawyers? Colleges?

This makes me happy that I own a 1950s ranch house that’s built like a tank. Where I live McMansions are everywhere and after only six or seven years some of them are falling apart.

“Guitars, milk sellers, farms, FFL’s, jet makers, Las Vegas, insurance companies...”
“other targets in the probe include the hotel and restaurant industries.”
Looks like they are going after people who hire wetbacks.
Then they are going to go after contract labor.

Besides, homebuilders, "the probe include the hotel and restaurant industries." These industries are the chief employers of illegal aliens. So while the Obama regime destroys Main Street working Americans, it once again takes care of another leftwing support group - in addition to unions. No further proof of this is needed but who Obama has running the DOL and what is her mission:

"No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights. You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage... [This is part of] our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers.”

Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis

The builder, Pulte,hires the sub contractor who in turn hires his workers to do the job. Pulte’s responsibility is to see that the sub is legal and the subs responsibility is to hire legally documented workers.

Trust me when I tell you there are as many problems with so called “custom” home builders as there is with the corporate home builders.

New homes are not being built.

Construction workers are unemployed.

Unemployment makes Obama look bad.

Thou Shalt NOT make Obama look bad.

See “Solyndra.”

From the article....."Labor Department spokesman Carl Fillichio said other targets in the probe include the hotel and restaurant industries."
