I HAD BEEN WORKING CONSTRUCTION FOR TEN YEARS AND HAVE SEEN THE WAGES AND PRICES PER HOW YOU CHARGE DROP 50 PERCENT. IS THIS ETHICAL, WHY IS IT WAGES TEN YEARS AGO WERE MORE, AND AMERCIANS NEVER HAD TO COMPETE THIS LOW FOR A JOB AND BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOESNT KNOW MUCH ABOUT CONSTRUCTION THE HOME OWNER IS GETTING SCREWED B/C NOTHING IS BEING DONE RIGHT AND THEY DONT KNOW BETTER, SHOULD THE CONTRACTOR BE ABLE TO CHARGE MORE B/C GAS, FOOD AND INSURANCE IS MORE AND NOW MAYBE TAXES. UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS HAVE NONE OF THE OVERHEAD LIKE THE AMERCIANS DO AND THE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS GET FEDERAL AND STATE HELP THATS HOW THE CHEAP LABOR FORCE IS ABLE TO WORK CHEAP. OTHER AMERICANS TAXES PAY FOR THE REST. MY ELDER FAMILY MEBERS GOT 10 DOLLARS AN HOUR IN 1979. AND IN 1989 YOU GOT 13 -15 TO 1996 AND BEFORE THE MEXICAN INVASION WE WHERE GETTING 20 AN HOUR AND NOW ITS BACK DOWN TO 10 - 12 HOUR. THIS IS CRAZY. I WELCOME THE MEXICANS BUT THEY DONT WELCOME ME. THEY DISOBEY THE LAW, 70 PERCENT OF THEM DO SHODDY WORK DUE TO CHEAP PRICES(LESS TIME TO THINK WHEN YOUR PAID LESS PER JOB AND LESS TIME FOR DETAIL). ITS LEAVING THE PROS OUT IN THE DUST GETTING DIFFERENT JOBS AND LEAVING AMERCICA WITH MEXICANS AND NOW GETTING CROOKED WALLS, SHEETROCK FALLING OF THE STUDS, UNEVEN, UNLEVELED,AND UNPLUMED WORK., I WATCHED WHILE I WAS BRICKING A CONDO AND SEEN THAT THE WHOLE TIME THE MEXCIANS DID NOT USE A LEVEL ONCE ON THE FRAMING. I ADMIT THEY WILL GET BETTER BUT DAMN HOW MANY HOMES AND BUILDING WILL THEY DO WRONG BEFORE THEY DO. WE ALL MUST GO THROUGH THE JOUNEYMANSHIP AND BUILD ARE WAY UP. ITS LIKE GOING TO COLLEGE, CONSTRUCTION IS A TRADE AND A HUGE PART OF OUR CULTURE.. GET THE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS OUT OF AMERICA PLEASE. I HAD TO GET A SECOND JOB, B/C I WILL NOT AND CANNOT NOT AND NOT ABLE TO WORK AT THERE LEVEL OF PAY WITH ALL OF THE OVERHEAD THAT IS REQUIRED BY ME TO PAY TO WORK IN AMERICA... BOTTOM LINE IS .. HOW ARE AMERICANS ABLE TO COMPETE WITH MEXICANS WHEN WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE INSURANCE, PAY TAXES, SOME OF US HAVE TO HAVE BIG TRUCKS TO PULL EQUIPMENT THAT IS COSTLY AND THE MAINTANCE ON EQUIPMENT THAT IS COSTLY, HOW ARE WE ABLE TO PAY SOMEONE 15 AN HOUR WHOM NEEDS IT TO PROVIDE FOR THERE FAMILY WHEN A MEXICAN HAS GOV HELP AND IS PAYED 8 DOLLARS AN HOUR WE HAVE TO COMPETE WITH THAT 8 BUCKS AN HOUR WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO BE NEAR 20 AN HOUR.(BY EXAMPLE FROM THE WORK I DO). WE AMERICAN LIKE TO LIVE WITH ONLY ARE FAMILY OF A MOTHER AND OR FATHER AND KIDS IN A HOUSE WITH A MORTGAGE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IN THE PAST 8 YEARS WE CANT AFFORD TO B/C THE 5 MEXICANS WHO LIVE IN A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT DECIDES THEY CAN AFFORD IT B/C THEY SAHRE ONE CAR AND ONE APARTMENT AND IS ABLE TO WORK CHEAP B/C THEY LIVE UNAMERICAN. HOW IS THAT ETHICAL THE LANDLORD WILL BE MORE HAPPY WITH SELLING EACH PERSON ONE APARTMENT TO EACH PERSON INSTEAD 5 PEOPLE IN ONE, THE LANDLORD COULD BE RENTING OUT 5 INSTEAD OF 1 ALSO THE SAME WITH A CAR AND YOU KNOW THEY DONT CARRY CAR INSURACNE. I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF THAT HAS BEEN HIT BY AN ILLGAL AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. THIS IS A MESS THATS WHY WE HAVE TO CLEAN THIS MESS UP AND GRANTING AMNESTY IS THE WRONG WAY OF DOING THIS. GO BACK AND GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM OBEY THE LAW WE HAVE TO DAMNIT..
