Hispanic workers started out here in Alabama as “cheap labor”. Now they dominate the workforce in construction AND they pretty much name their price. The BIG difference in Hispanic labor vs “others” is that these “Messicans” take pride in their work. Our’s are skilled laborers that I’d put up against anybody’s work.



Honest question here, but are they legal immigrants?

Are they mostly in masonry and carpentry? I’ve yet to see Hispanic crews around here doing electrical, plumbing, HVAC. Although, if I had a good legal Hispanic crew that I could hire for our construction projects, I may not be against it. They are hardworking people most of the time.

The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
