No, annie , they are destroying the job market for American masons and tilesetters who want work aboveboard, not under the table while on the lonestar card and every other form of government medical and housing assistance.
Betcha Annie got some nice tile work done cheaply by illegals and is now trying to make himself feel good. Too bad one of them didn’t injure themselves and sue him like no licensed contractor is able to do.
No license= they’re your employee, legally here or otherwise, and can wind up owning your house if they can convince a jury that they deserve it for their injuries (and yes, my livelihood is suffering because of underbidding by illegals.)
And where would these American born masons and tile-setters be found? Here in DC the old time masons were Italian, imported from Italy for this specific skill. Now they are all Latin Americans. My white American contractor does a great job with sheetrock and 2x4s. Want something that requires a bit of skill, looks nice and won't turn to mush if it should get wet - can't be done.
