Today I got a phone call that would put me over the top for the next 3-4 months, meaning that I can no loner complete all the work that is coming in. I enjoy keeping it simple and working alone as a craftsman.
Now it looks like I'm going to need a carpenter, a helper and a paint foreman and 2 workers/trainees.
(I'm not complaining!)
So I ran an ad for help; "must speak English, must be legal, must have driver's license and vehicle."
I made it clear that I don't and won't hire illegals or those who chose not to speak English.
If every contractor, landscaper and factory owner demanded at least a green card, none of this would be happening.
BTW: I can make a nice profit with good American help and I can help fellow Americans put food on their table. Will I hire a Mexican, Cuban or other immigrant? Sure, as long as they're legal and are learning English. They'll be paid the same as the other employees too.
