I can report the same thing here in this little Rcky Mtn tourist town. Ten years ago no illegals. Now every motel, restaurant and construction outfit is saturated with them. Crime hasn't gotten too crazy and the cops don't allow too much of the loud banging music from cars but there seems to be a fair number of gangbanger types around who haven't found regular jobs that "Americans won't do."

Construction wages are down a third from fifteen years ago and real estate has tripled. I wonder why? /s

“Construction wages are down a third from fifteen years ago and real estate has tripled. I wonder why?”

It is amazing to me how much *GREED* has come into the lives of so many, here, in our country.

I know a man in our little town who built a two million + dollar house, with landscaping straight out of Better Homes and Gardens. He brags that he built (and landscaped) it for way under one million - thanks to the illegals he hired to do the work.
