>>12885892Mexican American business owner here, it is not really that businesses hire illegals because they are greedy and want cheap labor (some do) but its more because customers are cheap af. This is specially true for the middle class, they want to appear like they have money but don't want to pay for quality work, they want workers to come and break their back for fucking chump change just because they are broke but want to appear rich. I got a few stories dealing with cheapos
>Do construction and landscaping, I started my company right out of the Army, I hit up vets in my area and got a few calls. >One fat veteran boomers calls>American flags everywhere, gadsen flag and pow flag as well>Think cool, this dude does not hire illegals>Wanted artificial grass put on, I give him a quote of $1500 front and back>Says that is too fucking much, couple of guys told him they would do it for $500. Ask who the guys were and its a group of illegals I know>Tell him I am not about to have my guys come break theirs back for that money, I cant even make a profit with that, taxes will eat up anything minuscule profit there is after material and labor costs >He goes with the illegals insteadBoomer "patriots" are only nationalist and America first until it hits their wallets. I have mostly veterans working for me and this dude decides to hire illegals instead to save money. They did a shit job btw and end up calling me to fix the mess they did, and they stole some of his tools from the garage. Kek
