I visit commercial construction sites a few times a month and have noticed a lot less Spanish and more English spoken lately.

Haven’t seen too many sites hurting for labor either.

Residential construction may be different but I also don’t see many new houses going up.

The usual Leftist whine when enforcing our laws.

There are plenty of people willing to work. Last time I checked, AZ unemployment was not 0%

The bill's passage two years ago led thousands of illegal immigrants to pack up and leave.

Well isn't that what they wanted to begin with the illegals out sounds like " want your cake and eat it to " syndrome with just a touch of lazy ass mixed in !

That was when the housing market had crashed, but now the market is recovering.

It is? BULLSHITE

The main reason we had the housing market crash in the first place was giving subprime loans to illegal wet backs and assorted low lifes in the first place.

Lying media did this with the Georgia immigration law: said there would be shortages and crops would rot in the fields.
There weren’t, the drops were harvested- and they didn’t report that.

So, according to what people saw on the media, the immigration law caused labor problems!

Our lying liberal media will just keep repeating this meme to their idiotic viewers. Keeping them stupid enough to buy trash and vote Democrat.

It doesn’t look like builders need to start wetting their pants over labor just yet. Well, unless we want even more bubbles. We’re still belching the last bit of glut.

So what they are really worried about is actually having to pay a living wage to citizens since they have relied on Illegal Immigrants for construction labor for 10+ years.

When you build your industry on illegal labor, totally cutting out legal American labor for a generation, sooner or later you will crash. Crime catches up with criminals sooner or later. They had best start recruiting and training Americans for American jobs. Or, go follow the illegals. Arizona overbuilt anyway thanks to the banksters giving illegals mortgage loans they could not pay back.

Everyone is screwed by our elite’s, one party lawlessness and disrespect for our economy, country and people. Heck, even Rubio says he’s not only for giving amnesty to illegals here now, he’s for everyone who finds themselves without economic opportunity to break into our country like he says he would do. A$$hat. He’d kill us just as soon as look at us with his great ‘compassion.’

They’re only worried that they’re going to lose their dirt cheap labor, and will have to once again hire REAL AMERICANS to work for realistic wages.

Don’t get me started on this subject. My family has suffered tremendously, due to illegal alien labor in the construction field.

Hard to believe they are still building homes in Arizona. Or anywhere for that matter.

Well boo hoo, ain’t that a beach. To hear the libs and LSM, (but I am being redundant) all the illegals were out in the fields doing stoop labor for 50 cents an hour.

These rotten building contractors went for cheap illegal labor to force out higher paid American citizens. Now the creeps just might have to cut their profit margins and hire Americans again.

Well, they should not have underbid the project.

When Americans with “real skills” come on the job they won’t use framing hatchets to make things fit, it will be right the first time.

Sure, the cost of building a house will rise with a rise in wages but the low bidders will quickly go out of business and the better, more professional builders will flourish when the cheap builders who used illegal labor fail.

American work for American Citizens should be the battle cry throughout America in all trades.
