Hmmm, If I am not mistaken prevailing wages on a military base is some pretty good money. I can’t image a contractor would have too hard of a time finding actual U.S. citizens to do the work. I think the contractor needs to be investigated at the very least.

“I think the contractor needs to be investigated at the very least.”

The first thing that needs to be determined is is the contractor also Hispanic and is he himself a citizen?

Several Years ago, I was a project manager at one of the AF engineering organizations. I managed repair and environmental projects as a contracting officers representative. At my first meeting with the contractor and the base personnel, I infomred them that all employees entering the base would have their records checked. At one base, one morning, a contractor employee was trying to enter and the Air Force Police held him on three DUI charges and he left in a county police vehicle.

I worked on the construction of the new NSA complex at Ft. Meade back in 2010. ALL of the sheet rock crews were Hispanic. No way of telling if they were legal or not. Curious, though.

All of the landscaping crew at the hotel I stayed in were Hispanic, probably Guatemalan. But the marigolds were not as critical as NSA.

That being said, it seems that you will see far more hardworking sheet rock, masonry, etc. crews than those of other demographics, whether Black or Snowflake or Native American.
