I have one question for Matthew:
How many framing crews (by percentage) in your area are NOT at least
half illegal Mexican immigrants?
Zero. It's probably different in Texas, I know. I'm in Michigan, and I
know things are different down south.

Without the "prevailing wage" stuff in place for LA (or TX construction,
in the wake of Rita) there will probably be MORE people illegally
working on the construction, because it'll be easier to haul them in and
pay them less. (Not that that's not going to happen anyway.)
I think that between Rob and myself, we probably know a little more
about construction in Texas than you do, at least in terms of who works
in it and how much they're paid. And our reactions to the LA
construction are colored by *our* knowledge, which is somewhat different
from what someone in Michigan knows.
