Actually Ft Myers is 74k too. We do have a lot of other cities around

Construction is a big enough industry here that we run at a very high
labor participation rate among latinos. Add to that 150 gated
communities with country clubs, kitchens and golf courses. Then you
have the fact that about 2/3ds of the people have a landscape company
doing their yard. Most folks have an "in" with the latino community if
they just ask around a little. Just use a little respect.
Just about anyone who actually wants to work, has a day job and all
the work they want off hours.
Nobody in their right mind will hire a renta drunk from a day labor
company when they can get a latino. The people we see with the "will
work for food" signs will give you the finger and run away if you
actually offer them a job.
Are these all illegals you people are hiring?
Are they all working in the underground economy?
Are we adding 11,000,000 people to the economy that aren't paying taxes?
How many of those are on the dole also?
My daughter worked at a landscape company that brought in Puerto Ricans,
no paperwork hassles, they worked hard, and most went back home in the
off season, then returned the next year.
Anyone with a business is not going to hire someone who can't pass
E-Verify unless they don't want to be in business very long.
I also reject the idea that illegals do not pay taxes unless they are
working off the books and again, this will not usually be a person who
wants to stay in business. You might not be afraid if ICE but you
better fear IRS. They are the ones with the resources to find you.
That is not to say illegals do not have papers good enough to trick
E-Verify but the government still catches up to them eventually. Then
all the tax money FICA etc is simply forfeited to Sammy.
These folks are still not going to be able to get their SS/MC unless
they are legal. For a long time IRS/SSA was not even pursuing them.
All that happened was the employer got a letter saying they had a
suspect SSN, check your records nut "DO NOT USE THIS LETTER AS A
REASON TO TERMINATE THE EMPLOYEE". They knew this person was paying
taxes but they also knew they would not get SS.
