Or perhaps... more simply, One greedy contractor trying to cut the throats of all the competition to have a lower price to offer the home owner. As a home owner I call several proffessionals to find out an average price for the work that I need done. When I call I dont know if its going to be 600 dollars or 1000 dollars. If you hire illegal aliens to have cheaper laborers so you can make more money charging me 600 dollars and the guys with legal labor have to charge a thousand then the contracter should have to disclose to the consumer that he is using illegal labor to get the job done. I would gladly pay an extra 400 bucks to have a legit company do a good job with legal labor.

You wouldnt happen to be a contractor would you?

Please link to anything that Levy has legislatively done that is anti-hispanic and not simply attempting to do something about illegal immigration.

not all of them. most of them are too busy working by day and by the time they get home, they dont want to do anything because theyre so tired to even do anything gang related.

is there a difference in work if it were done by an illegal worker as opposed to a legal worker? The work gets done.

Or more simply put
you like to argue.
You are entitled to freedom of speech, so speak.
I have the right to ignore you...wich I will do from now on
when it comes to things I know, I am right. I dont argue when Im right. I work in the industry. Do you? You see things from the outside, not the inside.

The guys who are riding around on trucks with contractors are not where the gang membership is coming from, for the most part. It's coming from the teenage kids of the El Slavadoran immigrants who is working 3 jobs and doesn't have time to take control of what their kid is doing.
