Most of the reconstruction down here is courtesy of Mexico...Americans would rather not get that dirty or sweaty. Gives me an all new appreciation of American blue collar workers who ARE willing to show up and follow instructions. ------------------------ Screw that. There are plenty of US citizens who would gladly work construction. My grandfather was and my uncle still is a carpenter and general contractor. Uncle is making a very good living at it. Makeshift businesses and their low class operators are just too lazy to do the paper work, pay payroll taxes, in some cases pay the minimum wage, provided workers compensation and the like. I ran a business and didn't hire one illegal alien. I did do alot of paperwork to get one Canadian/German citizen to work for my company legally. And all my legal employees enjoyed generous benefits. IMHO, folks that cannot run a legitimate and *legal* business with *legal* employees do not DESERVE to be in business. It's like a big corp. that lies about it's earnings for years and then gets caught. Oh, we didn't pay all our taxes and hid our liabilities via dummy corporations. Gosh, anybody can run a successful businesses with rules like that! But again, they never truly did run a successful business. They don't *deserve* to be in business. Sames goes for shady contractors who break the law and favor hiring illegal immigrants. They don't *deserve* to be in business if they cannot run a business legally and by the book. 'Nough said.
