Illegas take over construction trades; like this, Illegal guy comes from San Antonio to thrieving small college town he goes to builders and says I can do your plaster work, builder says are you from here he says yes Iwas born here but i have been living and plastering in san Antonio for five years. ( Builder doesn't ask for documentation and only a W-9 is filled out). Builder says I have a house give me a price. The price is cheaper by 10% of the local legal plaster contractor, Illegal guy gets the job on contract. he does the job with the help of his 3 other illegal buddys. Before the job is over he gets 2 more jobs and recruits more illegals, so on and so on, soon the legal contractor has only one builder to do work for. Projects become sparse for the legal guy he lays -off his crew of legal taxpayers temporarily. The legal crew draws
unemployment, for 3 months, untill the next job starts. Legal guy starts new project but has very little funds to operate with now and his uemployment tax rate he pays has gone up because of the lay-off. Legal guy can't drop his price because he has taxes to payout, his cost are at least 15% more than The illegal contractor. Question what should the legal guy do (hire illegals too)? and is the legal guy even going to be able to network with the illegals?
