I couldn't agree more, Slick V...what hurts me is that Randolph hasn't had me come to work for him for 2 weeks now. I talked to him about it and he said he got some money from the wreck he had so he is working at home doing some upkeep and maintenance on his property, but he has to keep his Mexicans, otherwise they'll move on to Louisiana and he needs them here to keep his business going. So he can't use me right now. They work for 6-8 bucks an hour and he paid me 10. Sorry. Good luck. You can get Joaquin, Jose, Jose, Jose, Manuel, Manuel, Arturo, Francisco, Benito, Albador and Manuel for what it would cost to have half as many American guys working for you. Of all the Mexicans Randolph has, one of them got his green card and paid the fees and is now becoming a US citizen and is learning to speak English and establish himself and is paying taxes out of his salary. The rest of them live on cash, line up at convenience stores for food (there are lines of them everywhere you go buying junk food), and 16 of them'll go in on a one-bedroom apartamento and a car with no title, insurance and none of them have drivers' licenses. That is a typical scenario. They undercut the wage median as well as the contractors' price guidelines and are sucking money out of the economy like a vacuum cleaner. And they don't speak a lick of English. But they have the jobs...Cheers, WC1
