Well, no s***-the construction/remodel crew I work on/with is starving for work because companies from the city hire green cards and so can underbid us, even out here in BFE-the dude ranches and other tourist traps hire them, too, even though here just about all of us are willing to clean rooms, cut grass, muck out stables and work in a kitchen-you know-do those jobs Americans supposedly won’t do...
Received couple of calls during the Christmas holidays from a guy who has all sorts of crews he can put together. I have often used one of their handmen for small jobs. They are all Black guys, great workers and do an excellent job. Only alternative I’ve found for the Mexicans in our area which I refuse to use, regardless of the cost differential. He said they are desperate for work. Lord knows there is plenty of work around and being done but too many people put cheap $ ahead of quality and U.S. citzens. Have lots of things that need doing but not the money to have them done. Hopefully they’ll still be available when I have some extra money.
