I get it.
But I also get the other side. How do I know them? When I need help with heavy work such as building a deck, or putting in windows...I go to home depot and there they are....ready to work.
Yep. They work with me, for me, mow my lawn, reslate my roof......eat lunch with me.....heck, drink with me...
They are there for us.....UNTIL WE DONT NEED THEM ANYMORE?
Sorry Bro.......I get it from the other point of view.
Fix the border. Reform immigration...
And thank these people for being there for us despite us making them break our laws to help us.
The AMERICANS that call me for work would probably like to meet you in that alley in Texas.
YOU are the biggest part of the problem. Need a new roof? Hire a fucking American, jackass
I found when I hire an American to do it by calling an American roofer, he charges me $6,000 to do a job that costs $1500 in materials and he has 5 Mexicans doing it at 12 an hour.....or about $500 labor for the job....so a 300% markup for him to simply go to home depot and hire 5 guys.
So I buy the materials and hire 4 of the same Mexicans and pay them $15 an hour and I am on the roof with them.
Now, I don't know where you live....but here in NY?
You can not find a contractor who is reasonable price wise that does not use the Mexicans you find at Home Depot.
So who is the biggest problem?
The American business owners that hire Mexicans for cash and pay them crap and charge the customers top dollar.
And when you grant amnesty to all of your friends, they will start their own roofing business and charge you $6000. Think about it. You can get them for next to nothing because they hide in the shadows......because they are illegal.
