Guaranteed. I’ve been in PJs with hours of reading material on the walls

My daughter's AP Spanish teacher didn't like it when I joked about the only reason for learning Spanish is to be able to talk to the landscaper. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]and your yard would look terrible... just sayin'
I wish ICE would set up at the entrance to the Social Services Dept. here in Montgomery County.
Was he paid for his time?Mine already does. Probably because I do the work myself.
I have to follow the @fieldgrade 20 feet rule I believe it was: from 20 feet away, weeds look green.
Edit to add: I am curious about the rules for detaining employees under this sort of situation. I had a ram radio discussion this morning with a guy whose BIL showed up to work there yesterday. He is a non Hispanic, natural born citizen. He had to show his ID and then was confined, not allowed to use a John or anything, and not "free to go". He was never questioned or anything and finally released. He had no idea what was going on and didn't find out until it was over. He believes he was unlawfully detained.
I’d buy it.View attachment 104301
New roll mark design
Only issue with that is the majority of Americans are too damn lazy/sorry/green to do the work. Cutting off welfare programs, funding good trade programs in schools, and restricting disability qualifications would help more than anything. It is next to impossible for construction/manufactoring companies to find good help that is non hispanic. Most of the young white and blacks around here are unwilling to learn a trade that requires hard work even if it pays well. It is easier for them to sit at home and leech off of society.The employers of these illegals should also be led away in handcuffs.

You are correct about me being in a rural part of the state. Trade/construction jobs are far from lowpaying but finding someone who is willing to actually work is next to impossible. The company I work for pays production workers extremly well and offers decent benefits. We are very careful to only hire legal workers and a lot of the guys who work here have become citizens. The point I was trying to make is that welfare and entitlement programs are a much more of a threat to us than illegal immigrants. Take the freebies away and the leeches would be forced to work. We hire a lot of blacks and whites but the majority of them have no work ethic and could care less about the job. Keep in mind my opinons are based on what I have seen working in costruction and related industries since highschool/college.You're wrong. Once the illegal below-market low-wage earning workforce is gone, the free market will adapt to what is available. Since your location isn't given, I would assume you're in a rural part of the state. It's funny that all these firearm and car companies have relocated to poor states like Alabama Tennesee and SC to take advantage of that very phenomenon.
My uncle has bee a GC for about 40 years. He fixes the mistakes of the Mexican contractors that have already been paid for doing shoddy work. If they would've just hired his crew in the first place, overall costs would be lower. No entitlements involved in that scenario.

I can understand that and a lot of the Mexican contractors do shoddy work. Our issue is finding quality employees that are willing to work. The whole thing is a mess any way you look at it.My uncle has bee a GC for about 40 years. He fixes the mistakes of the Mexican contractors that have already been paid for doing shoddy work.

people calling for a boycott of BCA
Those people that are saying that have probably boycotted BCA since its inception.
The contractors best defense is that the white customers are always complaining about how much stuff costs. And it's true. Everyone wants 5 star quality at 3 star prices. The biggest complainers are the ones with the most money. They got plenty of it to pay 5 star rates, but they just don't want to. It's some sense of country club entitlement that makes them think their purchase is more special-er than everyone else and they should get preference...driving the economy you-know. (disclaimer; Not all wealthy folks are like that and many are wonderful people. But the expectation of "a deal" is more prevalent within that demographic.)
I hear it all the time from builders who say "The Mexicans show up and work! I can't get white guys to do that."
Um yeah..it's just a damn shame you have to teach them the same job every day.
Don't give me the Spanish salvation rope a dope. I'm there too remember? Yes occasionally you find one that does shine. But most of them will never rise above the level of ditch digger. Does that make them less human? No. It just means they dig ditches, and the large reason is they have to fly under the radar and a higher profile position could expose them.
"The Mexicans show up and work! I can't get white guys to do that."
When you hear a contractor say that, what he's saying is "I pay these guys $10 an hour under the table with no questions asked and no insurance or social security or workmans comp or taxes and I can't get white guys to do that."
Hell no you can't get white guys to do that. They're beholden to the law, their family, their country and the idea that you play by the rules.
The illegals are just here for the money, and they'll tell you so.
I don't know if I'm more offended at the practice, or the implication that he thinks I don't know what the deal is.

The building trades are a mysterious entity for most people. Low bid often just sounds like a better deal. So contractors hire these illegals and they build a pig with lipstick. Looks real good when it's fresh, but give it a year or two and see what it looks like then.
Your builder? Sorry. He's in Florida now...and who knows where those Mexicans are.
A <$40 AR barrel what could be wrong!?
Although one of the G17 threaded barrels had me thinking twice. But the rational part of me (which only speaks up when it comes to anything besides choices in women) tells me no and to go with a proven performer.
