Always been torn about folks seeking a better life as I know I might do the same if in that position...especially if family involved. That being said, when I started a construction biz in the early 90's I wanted to do it by the book and not like most that either 1099'd or paid help under the table to avoid paying payroll taxes. In a span of 15 years I witnessed new home construction being taken over by southern tourist and even though the prices of houses sky rocketed, the prices being paid dropped and the work load increased due to new codes being enforced. I no longer replaced help that quit until it was just me. Sad thing was many tourist worked harder then locals and would work weekends, but as I stated, I ran my biz legitimately.
Last week we had a trucker that barley spoke English, but had a green card, kill four people and cause a major incident on I-70 as he slammed into traffic doing 85 mph due to smoking his brakes coming down the grade into Denver.
