[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, to answer you ... in my community, no one in the usually packed Mexican Taco/Market, and I say this knowing that it is wall to wall hispanic on any given day with no parking in front because my office are usually the only non hispanics in there, we laugh about it all the time.  Also, no workers hanging around my local Home Depot in the mornings and most of the painting crews in my neighborhood (lots of repairs going on) have postponed some of the projects and my neighbors are boiling over mad about it since we are in an area where it is difficult to engage talented contractors since there is so much work.  Another thing I've noticed recently, the McDonalds I go past three or four times a day and usually has very little line at the drive thru, all of a sudden is doubled lane packed all day.  I suspect most of the contractors not going into our local Mexican businesses are just opting for the drive thru at this point.  Can't blame them.  Definitely a shift in behavior where I live.  A noticeable shift.[/quote]

I don't believe talented contractors need to hang around the Home Depot parking lot looking for work.[/quote]

You are probably right.  However, illegal immigrants who speak very little English and take these side jobs do, of course, your would never notice them as you probably look right past them.  I know many like you.[/quote]
