How come there is so many predominantly Mexican people at all the Home Depot's looking/waiting for work? Why aren't they rounded up and deported? Who is it that makes the call NOT to do something about that kind of bs? I have to wonder why people think illegal immigrants actually contribute to the economy by filing and paying taxes. I doubt any of those workers at the Home Depot bother with the taxes unless they expect a refund. WTF

I haven't experienced that at the two that I frequent at all. Lacey (Hawk's Prairie) and Aberdeen, and I have a "Pro" account.

I have hired them several times. They always worked their azzes off.
I respect hard work for pay. So do they. Round them up and ship them off and who's going to do the hard work for low pay?
I sureashell don't see a buncha white teenagers coming around wanting to mow my lawn. Right now my rider is broken. I would gladly pay some kid $30.00 to mow my 3/4 acre of lawn. It takes about 75 minutes. - so far no takers.

But it would be the new "street corner" seems to me, where "casual laborers" congregate hoping that someone buying materials needs help. Legal, top of the table stuff ? No, most likely not. But for $10 - $15 bux an hour, what do you want, a lazy American kid or a Mexican that will work his a$$ off for you ? Mind you, not all American kids are lazy, but I've seen a few. Seen a few lazy Mexicans, too. They don't last long, though.

I think the reason you see the Mexicans at Home Depot is because they're qualified to do the work that people go there looking for workers to do, they like to work, and they need to money.
Go downtown, or to any busy intersection where there are panhandlers...God Bless! Every nickle helps!...they aren't Mexicans.
Mexicans think every nickle helps, too...they just prefer the nickles in the form of a handful of 20's at the end of the day after working all day.
Anyone who ever says anything about Mexicans not working hard, being lazy, or taking jobs away from Americans is a fuckin idiot...100% pure and unadulterated idiot.
The ones I've worked with in the trades are hard workers, are always on time, never take an extra minute for break or lunch, and never leave early...
Maybe the better question is "Why aren't all the white guys who don't have jobs standing outside of Home Depot looking for some day work?"
Fish on...

I have had a few negative experiences with the "brown guys" from the HD parking lot.
Had a pair that wanted $15 and hour after they were on the job for a couple of hours (when they agreed to $12 when I picked them up), they convinced my associate onsite to take them back to HD while I was on a material run.
Another time I had a pair that just didn't want to work as hard as I was. . . . I am done paying "illegals" to do any work for me. .. it is hard to find good help period these day it seems.
My 10 and 12 yr old neighbor boys work harder when I hire them to do yard work for me at my place. . . .

If they are here illegally then they get free health care and other benefits, and as you say they don't have to pay tax. Even the ones that are here legally probably are being paid under the table. Not sure who enforces - IRS, Customs, Border Patrol. I know the Border Patrol has hit the Forks area hard. Wish I could find somebody to wash my truck for cheap or mow my grass. I shattered my patio door when I hit a rock with the weewacker today. Anybody want a job replacing a Milgard sliding glass pane?

Yeah we had some Russians lay our laminate floor, via Empire, and they did a good job. One didn't speak much English. The other guy spoke broken English. But they did a good job and worked fast. Had to call customer service to fix a bad spot and they came out and fixed it.

I've had no problems getting teenagers willing to work for $10-15/ hr on basic crap jobs cleaning up foreclosures. I pay better for skilled labor. Had a fun weekend after the ice storm cleaning up debris with 4 great kids. Had a crew of 8 teens picking tansy.
Most of the kids are client's kids.

It is a myth that the Mexican illegals men get all kinds of free welfare benefits. There are no welfare programs, that I am aware of, for single males of any race. Almost all welfare programs stem from AFDC. Aid to FAMILIES with Dependent Children. No children - no wlefare. There are some very limited aid programs for disabled, blind etc. But a healthy, single man has no benefits that I am aware of.

Why the hell would an American citizen take a job from an employer with no option for healthcare, paying under minimum wage, working you for as long as the day is bright, and being totally fricking illegal? Only an illiterate, dumb @ss, pos would do something as dumb as that. Real Americans have pride and we demand no less from our employers.

Also most people that used these day workers were saying they were paying them $12/hour, so that is above minimum wage. Just in case you forgot.

When I was talking to my accountant about a flip I was working on, he said the biggest exposure for hiring workers from Home Depot or unlicensed contractors is if they get hurt on your property, you may be faced with a large claim that your insurance may not cover.

I almost hired a few this weekend because I have a bum leg right now and cannot work in my yard on shi.t that needs doin.
I refrained after hearing a story from my next door neighbor that two weeks ago she hired two whom demanded more money that was originally agreed upon once they were finished with the job. She told them to take a hike because they had struck a deal... then later that day they returned to her property and stole all her yard tools and other misc stuff from her garage....

I live in an area with a 52% hispanic population. We have an area designated for day laborers (pick up/drop off sight) lat I checked there was no sign saying brown skin only..... farmers, contractors, and home owners use them on a daily basis. not sure how the legalities work out but you can pay cash if they work under a certain amount of hours, something like that.... Have worked with them and have hired them. 90% are very hard working and send most of their income home to families. some even have full time jobs and just do this on the weekend for extra income.
I don't have a problem with those who don't have a job but are willing to work. hell, even the waisted [Bleeeeep!] that rolls around on a bike/trailor combo picking up cans it at least trying to pay for another 4 loco and a pack of Mavericks..... (4 loco reference is for abu and todd) However, what I do have a problem with is the punk bitches that stand at an off ramp with their face all pierced up, quilt pants, a dog, backpack, and a sign asking for change...........attire changes with the seasons of course.

Yeah and you liked not having to pay social security, medicare, Wash. St L and I (workmens comp, insurance), employment security taxes. I'm sure you gave them their 20 min. breaks and spent countless hours providing safety training, etc. etc. Theres the problem. people use illegals for cheap, then bitch about the feds and states not doing anything about their illegal presence in this country.
Here's what needs to happen. The Feds need to grant amnesty and issue temp. work visas. Document them and have them pay taxes on earnings. Stay out of trouble, stay and do the work no one else wants to do for cheap. Win win situation. homeowners and contractors get cheap labor if they want to pay the price. Add $5.00 per hour for state and federal requirements. Send 1099's misc and W-2's. If you're in compliance, keep working. If not, no more work until you are in compliance.
I'm a general contractor and compete in the bidding process with othe GCs who use illegals all the time. Not fair at all and I can't compete with these underbidding aholes. I watch them pick up workers at home depot all the time. The state should record license numbers and do follow ups on these GCs and see if they are paying employee taxes AND state sales taxes. Lots of revenue to be had there. GUARANTEED it would pay for the enforcement.

When I was talking to my accountant about a flip I was working on, he said the biggest exposure for hiring workers from Home Depot or unlicensed contractors is if they get hurt on your property, you may be faced with a large claim that your insurance may not cover. I took x-rays of a worker hired off the street; he fell off a ladder, breaking his wrist and ankle. The scumbag that hired him dumped him off at the front door of the ER and left. I bet a Home Depot browner could push the button for a lot less dough.

"browner" aka "short for the previously mentioned derogatory term brown skinned" aka someone who can do every bit of Hanksters job for a lot less money.
RWWJ's like to refer to them as freeloaders, illegals, wetbacks, etc. unless it's an election year.

No slip of the tongue it was an intentional play on the already used term. As much as you'd like to Fox News it.....you end up just looking like your typical RWWJ self....who pushes a button for a living....and who's brain has been irradiated to less than a marsupials capacity.

All the non-brown people panhandling or begging at offramps ought to be the ones standing around at Home Depot with a few tools and some semblance of work ethic.

I've seen this Mormon dude, Mitt Romney, who's a Mexican begging for work in the oval office. His father was born in Mexico.

Didn't Obama export the most illegal immigrants ever during his presidency?

His administration had deported more than any other administration. Bite your tongue...facts have no place in this discussion. Obama is a NIgerian Kenyan Socialist Islamo-Fascist who wants to give welfare to all Mexicans, but only if they are illegal. Fish on... Todd

It surprised the hell out of me. I was thinking just the opposite was happening before I came across the report. He earned some points on that one. I wonder how many people would vote from him on that one fact alone?

You'll hear the right wing talking heads talking about how soft Obama is on immigration, when he's deported more illegals than any other, just like you'll hear how much he hates the oil companies and oil drilling, when under the Obama administration there is more oil being produced domestically RIGHT NOW than there ever was during the Bush Administration.

So you're telling me that there is not more oil being produced domestically than there was during the Bush Administration?
I hope you're not...because you'd be wrong.

You make that sound like it's a problem...when it's not. There is more oil being produced in the ol' US of A than there was during the Bush years.
Period.

P.S. At least Obama is willing to put a bit of the idea of alternative energy forward, instead of just pretending oil will last forever, or that you hate 'Merica if you want to develop something other than fossil fuels or nuclear energy.

Great post Illiterate! Who gives a f*** what color they are! We're all Heinz 57's as far as I'm concerned. Just the fact that anyone is willing to try and seek any and all work in order to feed themselves and their family, should be commended. Alot of us out here are a paycheck or two from having to join them or face foreclosure, food banks,etc. Have you read the newspapers about what is going on in the housing industry in this country? The hardest hit are the carpenters, laborers.
Guess what? Californias housing market is one of the hardest hit areas of the country.
