  1. NO AMNESTY!! It’s called E-VERIFY!!!! There are enough legal folks to work construction. You are just taking advantage of people!!!

  2. This is what we need to hear. America’s industries have become addicted to illegal alien labor just like the junkie hooked on heroin. Withdrawal will be painful and maybe expensive in the short run but for the future, we will all benefit from American labor. Fuck these construction firms; they are shady and greasy SOBs who will hurt Americans just to turn a profit. It is time to ree them in and make them abide by the law and prosper by using American labor.

    • And many of them build using garbage.products, and homes using unskilled and improperly trained workers. There are housing developments going up by the dozens around us. All cheaply put together with crappy products imported from china and using cheap unskilled labor who just picked up a hammer yesterday. People are having problems with leaking plumbing, cupping floors, roofs sagging, driveways shifting and cracking and that’s just for starters.

  3. Stopping illegals from taking Americans jobs? I say absolutely right on!

    Years ago, my ex-significant other, an experienced construction worker, got a job on a crew building a housing subdivision. He and the all-American crew worked for a week then were “laid off”, the reason being lack of funding. My S.O. went back a week later to see if work had re-started and saw that it was in full swing. The entire crew had been replaced by illegals who were working for 2/3 of what the Americans were being paid! He said he watched and it was obvious that the illegals barely knew which end of the hammer to use.

    Circa 2000, I read numerous articles about how people buying homes built by illegals were having multiple issues with poor construction. In one subdivision, people complained that doors were hung right along with all kinds of issues. They found out that you couldn’t even rest a ladder against a wall for fear of structural damage.

  4. If you employ illegals you are breaking the law!! Employ legal and citizens. !!
    Our government needs yo quit paying citizens to not work!! Make them get off their lazy butts and work for a living!!

  5. Pull that opens the door to some serious issues that the higher rank and file at the construction companies feel like they’re worth more than the people who actually do the work I’ve disliked this and I’ve watched this happen as I grew My father managed to make a pretty good living in construction I on the other hand found it difficult to find work who would pay you a reasonable wage because they could hire three guys for what they’d have to hire an American for that’s not to say the illegals don’t know what they’re doing they do cut corners they’re quality isn’t quite as good as what an American person does That’s why they’re attractive they do things super fast the quality sucks but it passes and the higher-ups get their bonuses that part of America is totally screwed thinking that they’re worth more than the people who actually do the work they’re pathetic they’re snobs and I got admit I can’t stand them

  6. Too bad, construction Companies can hire Americans. Lots of Americans can do construction.🇺🇸🇺🇸illegals want cash paid daily their lunch paid for, a lot of times need a ride to and from work.GTFO so know the construction scam.# MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸

  7. Is that not against the law. They’re telling the world they’re using illegals. Well maybe then we should round up every person on the job and send everyone either to jail or back to their native countries. That’s pretty damn Blanton.

  8. They love to hire illegals because they can pay them less than they would an American worker and do it all under the table so they don’t pay taxes. And those workers can’t complain because if they do, they’ll get fired or turned into ICE. HIRING ILLEGALS IS AGAINST THE LAW. IF YOU ADMIT TO DOING IT, YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED. PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

  9. I just came back from Puerto
    Rico where my daughter and son I. Law are having a house built it’s going on 4 yrs now and they are not finished yet. Island mentality and they only work 4-5 hrs per day. There are so many things needing to be re done I can’t even list all the screw ups. This is the kind of work we get from illegals when they build something in This country! All illegals OUT!

  10. Perhaps many of the homes and apartment buildings being built to fill the housing shortage won’t be needed once the 20+ million illegals leave. The housing they are occupying is contributing to the shortage.

  11. Hell NO. No amnesty. If you want to hire illegals go to Mexico with them. Illegal is illegal. Too bad. If you hire them you get fired.

  12. The contractor I hired to remodel my kitchen hired an illegal ‘electrician’. It didn’t pass inspection, not even close. I told the contractor the electrician was fired and to bring in a real electrician at his expense. And to never bring an illegal in my house again. He told me that his usual electrician was ill and he the illegal was recommended. Sad he couldn’t find an available legal one.

  13. What they are worried about is those extra profits they make on that low paid slaves. I’ve been in the home construction industry for over 40 years and have been a business owner 30 years of that. I’ve never hired an illegal and never will.

  14. NPR huh? Did the interview have background sounds of hammering, saws, handling of lumber, and carpenters talking in Spanish? The last time I was stupid enough to listen to npr, that was their mo.

  15. Ya think??? That’s the whole point, people!!! E-verify needs to be instituted immediately upon taking office by Trump! And NO giving ALL illegals in this country amnesty and making them legal American citizens!!! Deport them ALL!!!

  16. Well too fucking bad. Hire Americans and pay a fair wage. These illegals are working for peanuts, but you think they are spending their money in America to keep our economy strong. No, they are sending that money back home. Put a 50% tariff on every dollar that is sent back to a foreign country by money gram, electronic transfer or wire transfer. If you are hiring illegals, you are a liar and a thief by aiding and abetting criminals. I guess you pay these cockroaches under the table. They need to be deported PERIOD. Buy American, hire American, build in America, stay American.

  17. And many of them build using garbage.products, and homes using unskilled and improperly trained workers. There are housing developments going up by the dozens around us. All cheaply put together with crappy products imported from china and using cheap unskilled labor who just picked up a hammer yesterday. People are having problems with leaking plumbing, cupping floors, roofs sagging, driveways shifting and cracking and that’s just for starters.

  18. Too bad for the construction companies! These people have to be removed! So figure out plan B now, so that when it happens you’ll have it to fall back on. You shouldn’t have hired them to begin with! I want as many sent back as possible!

  19. American trade’s workers are far better, but thanks to some Demonrat liberals are a dying breed.
    I deal with many “alien” workers at one of the big boxes, always looking for the cheapest way possible.
    Struggling right now with work I had done that’s not as good quality as I paid for.
    Not sure if theses groups are legals or illegals, but I’m a firm believer in hiring American trades workers, and investing in training Americans for the trades.
