How could anyone possibly sleep at night knowing 16 million American by birth people are out of work, and we are so worried about saving a few dollars that we hire these companies that only hire illegal's, they are not on the same playing field as we are, they don't have to pay an illegal minimum wage, they generally pay by the job or by the amount of boards put on a building, such as 50 boards for 50 dollars if it takes 1 hour they make 50.00 and hour but if it takes 10 hours they make 5.00 an hour, that's why their work is almost always shotty, they are in a hurry, and if they screw the job up like some did for a local rock guy that only uses Mexican's to lay brick,rock and block he simply says NO PAY, they had spent nearly 40 hours on a job each, about 6 of them, they screwed it all up and the owner said that's not right and I'm not going to pay so the owner of the company said NO PAY, what could they do, their illegal's, and they have an under ground western union that no one know's about either that get's the money back to Mexico under the radar of the legal authorities, I know this because I befriended one a couple of years ago and he got a frantic call from his wife one day and she said she needed emergency surgery so I loaned him the money but instead of going to western union, he had me drive him to the local Mexican food store in Alex city where they had and may still have a underground western union service. He said it was cheaper to send money that way, I guess so because they also don't have to pay taxes on something not many know about, I am saying all this because I am seeing more and more families hurting badly these day's due to our elected leaders inability to change this economy around, maybe because so much more money goes to the country of Mexico than any of you are aware of. But what we can do is hire companies that use LEGAL Americans, if you see a company with nearly all Mexicans on their crews they are illegal 99% of the time so don't use them, I asked one of the guy's around here that only hires them, What he would do if they caught all of his illegal's and sent them back, his reply " I'll just get more, they are super easy to get" I just shook my head, I also asked him how he got by hiring so many, his reply " well as long as they show me any kind of paper work, no matter how forged it is I can legally hire them" So let's all remember what made this Country great, The American spirit and everyone back then cared more about doing what was right than doing what was CHEAP!! if anyone want's a list of the few companies I know of just send me a email and I'll send it. I'll also send a list of local construction companies that refuse to hire illegal's if you like.
