Now that thats over..I have personally witnessed delevolpers here hire illegals to put up their cookie cutter houses (tract housing) and pay them min wage. Then, after the crappy cheap shacks are done, they slap a 300 thousand dollar price tag on them. Problem is, the slime balls cant sell their crappy houses now.

At least a lot of the illegals are leaving due to a lack of jobs. This is part of the reason that the employment figures still look robust, despite the huge contraction in construction and housebuilding.

Not around DC they aren't. Gee, for some reason, they'd rather be unemployed and hanging out at the liquor stores in the US than unemployed in whatever manure pile of a country they came from.
