I have a freind who had a roofing business. After Hurricane Ivan he was getting a lot of business. Obviously. All of a sudden he couldn't get any. The illegals were taking it all up. Doing a house avery two days on average and charging Half what my freind did. So my freind had to play the game. He'd bid a job, promise a time frame and HIRE ILLEGALS to work. He had several crews of illegals working for him. It was the only way to go. He had no choice because he had to bid low as hell and to make a profit, he had to hire low as well. He closed up shop went out of business but wasn't real bummed. He was tired of the BS anyway. A few years later he became a State Trooper.
