Most of the fruit and vegetables you eat are probably farmed by illegals.
Don't eat any of it unless you know who farmed it.
My next door neighbor had the entire roof of his split level 30 x 60 house
torn off and reshingled in one day.
The shingles were delivered the day before, along with a big dumpster.
Early the next morning they showed up and got right to work.
There must have been 10 of them up there in the heat of summer.
They never broke for lunch either. All I heard all day was hammering,
Spanish, and salsa music.
I don't know if they were legal or not.
They were done at about 5 PM after cleaning all the debris from the
ground.

I had my pool replastered. 32,000 gallon in ground pool, built in the late
70s. They came (they being a couple of Anglo-Saxon looking types, and about
12 Hispanics) at 7 AM on Monday. They were jackhammering it out and running
back and forth with wheelbarrows so full I know I couldn't do it. At 2 PM
Tuesday, we were refilling the pool. Same way with the landscaping.
Wrecked out a bunch of old walkway, and installed pavers, irrigation, and
plants. Took about three days. They were busting it with sledge hammers.
I told the contractor that he should get them a jackhammer at least. He
said they wouldn't know what to do with it, but THEY preferred sledges.
Darn fine work that it would have taken Anglos much longer to git r' done.
Americans WILL do the work, it just takes twice as long and costs twice as
much.
