Legal Americans of ALL Nationalities..TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY

If you know of employers who hire ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS of ANY NATIONALITY....write your Mayor, your Governor, your local and State Representatives, and Senators ...and turn that business in. It's easy to write a simple letter about the matter, and easy to find the postal and email addresses on the 'net. There are Legal Americans able to work those jobs that are NOT getting a chance to do so. And please, contract with LOCALLY BASED businesses in your residential area to keep your money spent in YOUR COMMUNITY. Consider the house-roofing "industry"....After the hurricanes in Florida in 2004, I needed new roof-shingles. The home was 10 years old, and I had lost many but luckily did not sustain any further damage from wind/water. I contracted with a roofer who was working in my area, meeting with his Caucasian 'sales representative' to make the deal. (Actually, it wasn't any 'deal": $11,300 for re-shingling a 2600 sq. ft home, but paid for by State Farm Insurance). On the day that the work started, 12 Hispanic workers showed up, and only the 'group leader' spoke any English and limited at that. I didn't see the Caucasian agent again until the work was completed, inspected, and he came to get the check. I wasn't even THINKING about illegal immigrants back then, but now I wonder how many of the workers up on my roff those 2 days may have been ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and how many of those positions could/should have been filled by local, or at least LEGAL workers. I found out later that the roofing contractor was really based in Oklahoma, had only come into the area to do storm- damage work, and was long gone from the area within the following year. In hindsight, I SHOULD have contracted with a LOCALLY BASED roofing contractor to keep the money "at home", rather than having a good portion of it (I'm sure) sent out of the country. Next time, I will insist that all workers that show up on MY job-sight show PROOF OF LEGAL CITIZENSHIP. NOW I KNOW BETTER NOWand SO DO YOU. FYI greg |
