Florida Democrat: Without Immigration Reform, Where Will We Get Our Landscapers and Maids?
http://freebeacon.com ^ | february 25, 2014

Posted on 02/25/2014 2:05:17 PM PST by lowbridge

Florida Democratic congressional candidate Alex Sink said immigration reform was important at a Tuesday debate because, without it, it would be difficult for employers to find people to clean hotel rooms and do landscaping.

“Immigration reform is important in our country,” she said. “We have a lot of employers over on the beaches that rely upon workers and especially in this high-growth environment, where are you going to get people to work to clean our hotel rooms or do our landscaping? We don’t need to put those employers in a position of hiring undocumented and illegal workers.”

“How about we give EBT users the choice of doing that job or not getting MY Tax money?”

If you have ever run your own business, you will know that a bad employee is worse than no employee and a lot of EBTers are worse than most bad employees.

“my adult co-workers were drunks, speed freaks and borderline ‘tards—who’ve since been replaced with illegals.”

this is why just kicking the illegals out and replacing them with EBT people will not work.

“Hire Americans.

Pay them the wages for which they will work.

Too expensive?

Mow your own damn lawn!”

The guy who mows your lawn is most likely to break into your home than anyone else. They are friendly with the dog, they know your schedule, they know what defenses your home has. AND they have to look at the stuff you have and they don’t have on a weekly basis.

crooked construction business types (almost a redundancy) will always exploit the cheapest labor possible

I could tell you stories (particularly from the Mrs.’s days working around these crooks)

It would be lovely if massive 3D printers put them out of business permanently

Just ask ol’ Joe Biden. He’ll tell you that we need Indians to run 7-11s. After all, he can’t walk into one of those places without seeing one.

Only liberals are allowed to get away with saying stuff like this. They wold crucify a Republican.

Guess: 1/4 are in prison, 1/4 are pushing up daisies, 1/4 on SSDI or some other welfare-for-life program, for the last 1/4 the value of hard work sank in, and they set their lives on a better course, have done well enough for themselves.

I own two houses in Florida. I demanded to the lawn contractor, everyone must be legal if he wanted the contract. Strange, when I made that statement, a new crew was at the house. I did check papers.

Florida Democratic congressional candidate Alex Sink.

In her case 'sink' is a verb.

Has Rubio ever worked as a landscaper?

T. Willard Fair said blacks were doing many of these jobs in Miami before the cheap labor arrived.
