[outrider58]

All tradesmen (tradespersons) working for me on APG are very well paid Union or not it's all prevailing wage. Trades are where its at for young folks wanting to earn a good living without incurring 6 figure college debt as long as they are willing to actually work.

Absolutely.

Not at all. It was my personal observations that, that was where the illegals gained a foothold. I large part of the cost of granite tops was labor and there was a huge demand for affordable stone countertops. Enter the Hispanics...

Now don't get me wrong. I had a huge respect for those who would leave their country in order to better themselves... in the beginning. What we have now is not that.

This is what I thought and same in the next post of yours.

Unfortunately, one of the side affects of cheap labor was young Americans were no longer hired because you could hire three illegals at the same rate as one legitimate employee. The small-time contractors became the training grounds for illegals and not US citizens. That's why we are where we are today.

Sure, I was safe, but people like me were the exception to the rule. Our wages still suffered though.

I concur
Mexicans are spreading out with services like landscaping and tree trimming. I have had two crews show up soliciting at the door.
