I already pay them a small premium (santa fe prices when I could probably scrounge for el-rito prices) because I like their wood, their work ethic and have a loyalty to them with an eye to them being around in the future. >
I’ve had dozens of pages of Google translate conversations with my construction guy that is now (at retirement) heading back to his home country. His partner, an older white guy, had the job of driving the truck and translation and presents himself as the contractor, even though he mostly complicates matter. I would be much better off if the construction guy could have been here with his family, and got a driver’s license, instead of hiding in plain sight and sending money back home. The governor here (Newsom) is one of the few that is outspoken about the value of immigrants here in California. Accepting the premise that these people cause harm rather than bring value is one way Trump managed to control the conversation, and it is incorrect. Marcus
