What a joke. Verizon is running their fiber optics cables in my NJ neighborhood and everyone is asking why all the Verizon workers happen to be Mexicans. Hey, of course, Americans won’t do work for the biggest corporate entities on earth. We don’t need those 12 million jobs. No one else would apply.

“Verizon is running their fiber optics cables in my NJ neighborhood and everyone is asking why all the Verizon workers happen to be Mexicans.”

Have you reported them?

Mostly the Mexicans are used for the physical, outside from the street to the house install. A more skilled type generally finishes the job inside.

It’s the same thing going on everywhere. Verizon subcontracts out the outside work, and the subcontractors are the ones hiring the Mexicans. Just like the landscapers, the construction folks, and so on.

When I had my FIOS installed, the Mexicans brought the fiber to the house, and a genuine American brought it inside and finished the hookup in the house and on the street.

Our COUNTY sewer project in my neighborhood was all Mexicans down to the foreman (the only guy who could speak English). I have no idea how that happened in Atlanta of all places where cushy county jobs are a birth rite.

Pissed me off especially when the wives of the workers came by every day to bring them lunch with the kids in tow in their brand new Expeditions, Tahoes, Suburbans etc.

Yeah, lib elitists have no trouble believing that no American would work for a measly $40 an hour. This tells us a lot about these “caring, compassionate” people and who they really are.
