And the sad thing is that some of the black and white Anglos are not worth hiring compared to the green card guys.
The resident aliens show up for work every day, they pass the drug test, they don’t fake an injury, they don’t raise nit-picking issues when getting the job done, and they allow for poorly organized management because they will get by with whatever materials or tools they are given.
Its a damn shame.
I saw the choices traveling sub-contractors had on building up trade crews and saw these issues first hand for years. I came down hard if they used any illegals, called ICE, MPs, Justice Dept. etc.
That it is indeed. A relative recent problem too. By recent I mean 2 to 3 decades now.
