How many of the contractors will hire illegal aliens to do the work?

Conroe has the worst drivers in Texas. And that’s about the nicest thing I can say about it.

Go to hell, Never Trump dim wit.

Even when he keeps his promises, jerk offs like you find something to whine about.

Contractors like illegals because they cannot ever become competitors.
People with status after 7 years can apply for a license and could eventually become general contractors.

Hire all illegals and then the number of general contractors is much lower in a state like like California.

Check my posts. I have supported Trump since he was nominated. I’m just being realistic. There are practically no checks and balances that prevent the contractors from hiring illegals. Hell, illegal aliens have been found on military bases and in secure areas.

Sounds like it. Good news. Question - wouldn’t it make more sense to build one closer to the border - easier for travel back - just asking? Perhaps there are a lot of illegals in the Houston and surrounding area that they’ll take to this one?
