[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw plenty of day laborers hanging around outside Home Depot earlier this week just like usual. Which I was thankful for, because I sometimes hire them. I find them , on the whole, to be hard and efficient workers and I like helping them out. Also nice to just pay in cash. [/quote]

I just had some work done on my house by a crew, none of whom spoke English.

They did a great job, and they cleaned up after themselves, and I could not be happier. I paid the owner of the company with a check. I don't know how his workers get paid.

This is what kills me about all this slamming of immigrants: They are filling jobs that need to be filled! They are great workers, at least the ones that I've hired. They work hard and do really excellent work. I had to wait months to get this crew to work on my house. Are they undocumented? I don't know, but I'm assuming because they've never learned English that, yes, probably. But I don't care. They are performing a useful, necessary service, they are skilled, and they are needed.
