YANKEE INGENUITY
I have a friend who is president of his homeowner's association down in Washington. They are having a terrible problem with trash on the side of the road that is around his association's homes. The reason according to my friend Wallace, is six new homes, big ones, are being built just next to them! Wallace said the trash is coming from the Mexican work crews working at the construction sites (McDonald bags, Burger King trash, etc).
He has pleaded with the site supervisors and the general contractor to no avail, called the City, County, and the Police and got no help. So, guess what some people in his community did? They organized about twenty folks, named themselves The "Inner Neighborhood Services" to go out at lunch time and "police" the trash themselves. It is what they did while picking up the trash that is hilarious! They got some navy blue baseball caps and had the initials "INS" in gold put on the caps. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, however, to understand what they hoped people would think it means.
Well the day after their first pick up detail, with them wearing their caps and some carrying cameras; 46 out of 68, of the construction workers did not show up for work the next morning! and haven't come back yet! It has been ten days.
Now the General Contractor, I understand is madder than hell, but can't say anything publicly, because he could be busted for hiring "illegal aliens". Wallace and his bunch can't be accused of impersonating INS folks, because they have it on their home owner association records the vote to form the new committee within their association, plus they informed the INS about what they were doing in advance, and the INS said basically according to Wallace, "Have at it!"
SO FOLKS, I THINK YOU COULD SAY THAT YANKEE INGENUITY TRIUMPHS
AGAIN!
Here on the news, they announced what would be the horrible repercussions in the housing industry if all the illegal aliens were deported:
40% of new home construction is done by illegal aliens.
80% of new home construction IN TEXAS is done by illegal aliens.
Deporting all the illegals will result in home construction taking up to 3 times longer.
Hmm - I've been looking for work for four years. Maybe I should be an illegal alien...
Hey - I've got it! I'll go to Canada where there's free medical care! :lol:
Well, housing might be slowed down, but it would be done better.
I can't tell you how many jobs my husband's company has lost out on because his company employes legitimate plumbers. They've been losing jobs to contractors hiring illegals to do work they're not licensed to do. The sad part is that it's twice the work since legitimate guys have to be hired to repair eveything the cheepie contractor did wrong the first time.
That's the truth, Lynn! My parents (finally) moved into their new house here in FL...they had it built....and have found too many problems to name regarding shoddy workmanship, etc. It's pretty sad....

At the risk of reiterating myself, here's a lil memo for Squat.
