Only problem is you need a crew. At least 10 15 guys minimum. Electrical, plumbing, hvac, concrete, framing etc. And a contractor license etc.Potential nice come up for bruhs trying to get into construction
No it wasn’t , there’s been a major illegal immigration problem since the early 70’s. Many factors come into play with inflation such as population growth.Inflation was much lower before the Illegal Immigration boom. I’m not saying that it caused inflation, but costs aren’t necessarily correlated with illegal immigration.
Also, you have to pay top dollar for legal work. This is going to be a sticker shock for a lot of people in Florida along with the other things that are high down there.Only problem is you need a crew. At least 10 15 guys minimum. Electrical, plumbing, hvac, concrete, framing etc. And a contractor license etc.
That's why most are in poverty down there because they don't want to do what their grandparents did to make a living but down there they had no other options,it was work those jobs or starve.do the backbreaking labor that it takes to pick oranges and pick cabbages and pick strawberries, and pick other kind of fruit. They would rather just not work at all
This film is slowly becoming a documentary….
A Day Without a Mexican
2004
In this controversial mockumentary, all California based Mexicans, who represent a third of the state's population, inexplicably disappear and before long the lack of these Latino maids, construction workers, policemen, teachers etc, lead to a social, political and economic disaster which threatens the whole concept of the Californian Dream.

Well I’m not sure but dude was like if a storm hits Florida and them Mexican workers won’t be here like before…The richest Republicans in Florida own construction companies and farms, are they going to make exceptions for them?
Well, I’m not going to go that far because they are not paying the right amount of money for that labor. They pay the Mexicans $12-$15 an hour for construction jobs that should pay 30 or $40 an hour. I wouldn’t do that either especially if I’m legal in this country.That's why most are in poverty down there because they don't want to do what their grandparents did to make a living but down there they had no other options,it was work those jobs or starve.
They have machines that'll do a lot of the farm work,I know that's what they do with sugar cane down there which cut the work force by a third but let be honest most people would rather be hungry and homeless than to cut,burn and harvest sugar cane;They get foodstamps down there and very little of everything else.
This is why Newyork will always have a certain population cause people relocate for whatever reason and end up coming back because EVERYONE can recieve some form of welfare as soon as they can make it to the welfare office,foodstamps,housing, and medical and you don't have to be disabled,crazy or nothing.
I know people that live here and recieve all the benefits but stay in another state 90% of the time.
Wait, you trying to blame laziness on public assistance. Are you fucking serious? My mom was on public assistance and why because she has a fucking lupus that shit got us through some hard times when I was a child. My point is you do not need to generalize your statement in that way. You sound just like a fucking Republican.My Father has told me stories of how he, my uncles and Aunt picked produce every year. He says the whole neighborhood would be out there picking because they paid by the box and there wasn’t an age limit. It was a regular thing for Black families to be out there. He also worked on a shipyard, and all kinds of laborious jobs back in the day. He gained a work ethic and motivation by working those jobs. Retired making over 200K from a much better career he gained in his 30’s. The idea that Black folks are lazy wasn’t a thought until we were given Public Assistance.
100%All them mexicans and Latinos that supported DeSantis lookin sick right now.
You gone learn today.
We definitely deserve it smh.... These crakkkas got shit fucked up down here....Good luck. Fuck that place. I hope Disney leaves and the state turns into a swamp of red neck scum
I noticed some of the replies here is making me look at some of these do sideways, and I say this all the time…….BGOL has a lot of coons and undercover CAC’sYou niggas be exposing yourselves more and more lately. It's like stormfront 2.0
You niggas be exposing yourselves more and more lately. It's like stormfront 2.0
They don't.They think blacks will do it.
Some of y'all are real simple.Potential nice come up for bruhs trying to get into construction
MachinesWho did it over the hundreds of years before they started coming? Who does it in states that don’t have a high immigrant population?
No American is doing that work for what them Mexicans make period. Not about being lazy it’s about wages. I see a lot of Black contractors and construction workers happily doing that work because they make serious money not day laborer wages.It’s crazy how low of an opinion we have of ourselves. A general sentiment is that Mexicans are hardworking and we are too lazy to do labor or trade skill jobs. Just so y’all know, it wasn’t always like this. We built thriving Black communities in Detroit and the Midwest from Black families making a good living working low skill labor in the auto industry. We built thriving Black communities in LA and the Bay Area from black families working low skill labor in the shipping and logistics industry. Black folks moved up from Louisiana,Mississippi, and Texas to get those jobs. My father talks about his whole community (Men, Women, and Children) used to pick fruits in season and get paid per box picked. It was like a social gathering in that everyone would be out there during season. It was considered “easy money” He has fond memories of it.
So what changed? Nowadays we have projects full of our people not working and dependent on CACs to feed our families. Nowadays we doubt that we can even muster the motivation and work ethic to work and everything would go to shit if Mexicans don’t do it. We regularly joke about how poor the customer service is from our businesses. Do y’all realize how damaging all of this is?
I see this as an opportunity. Push for skilled labor training in our communities. Our community can get those jobs and start establishing ourselves economically like the other ethnicities have been doing.

I don't even know if I believe this.....I mean, the youngers ones gonna need 6 figures and guaranteed work from home, plus mental health days...on top of 6 weeks vacation..LOLBlack people would do this job if they paid correctly. There’s no way I’m doing construction work for 12 or $15 an hour in the hot sun of Florida…..hell no
Because they know how much the boss makes.I don't even know if I believe this.....I mean, the youngers ones gonna need 6 figures and guaranteed work from home, plus mental health days...on top of 6 weeks vacation..LOL
The entire book Poverty, my Bible, by a white man, Desmond Mathews summed up.It WAS always like this. The lie that black folks were lazy and shiftless and need to be controlled has been around since Slavery, even as we were worked to death.
There is something to be said for getting illegals out of these jobs to raise the wages, conditions and safety standards, but the average American isn't going to work under the conditions they are. Black, white, or other. The illegals are only doing it because they are desperate and have no other options. Once they get their documents, they leave, too.
What will happen is child labor laws will be rolled back. Children, mostly poor and black will be doing the jobs along with prisoners, and black folks will be targeted and arrested over BS to feed the machine. Or FL will roll this back.
If you're going to be outraged, be mad at companies out sourcing jobs Americans will do to prisons.

I have been talking about this for the last two weeks floor is about to go through the find out stage. Also hurricane season is a few weeks away. Ron DeSantis in the Republicans are fucking with everyone right now…….everyone!!!!
Huh? Any business large or small would rather pay low wages to increase their bottom line. Nobody actually wants to pay people more if they don’t have to. What a business will do is offset costs by raising prices and in return lose business. Cheap labor is why we have cheap goods. CEO’s are not cutting their own pay to offset costs.The wages would increase because they are legal. I have hired non citizen Mexicans for work for years and have written letters for citizenship for some that have worked for me over the years. I’ve observed them working for cheap for a few years, then getting citizenship, then working trade jobs getting good money within 8 years. Comparatively, I’ve observed many of my bredren stuck in the hood for multiple generations.
Fuck em. Racists just don't realize how much they depend on immigrant labor, but they will. A bunch of businesses are about to get a serious kick in the dick.I have been talking about this for the last two weeks floor is about to go through the find out stage. Also hurricane season is a few weeks away. Ron DeSantis in the Republicans are fucking with everyone right now…….everyone!!!!
