Hispanic Laborers
5 years ago in this neighborhood most of the people who shoveled snow, cut lawns, raked, worked in the stables, repaired fences, etc. were black people. Now ALL of the people who do those jobs in this area are hispanic. 5 years ago all the newpaper delivery people were either white or black, now ALL the newspaper delivery people are hispanic.
People say that native born Americans don't want these jobs, but I find that hard to believe. I mean what happened within the last 5 years to make native born Americans decide they didn't want these jobs? If you talk to the hispanic workers they mainly come from Mexico but I met a couple from Honduras, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. My friends say all these laborers and newspaper guys are illegals which I find hard to believe. We have a heavy police presence and security in this neighborhood and I can't imagine an illegal risking a police stop at 6am lol, if they're illegal they can't get a license so they would be risking arrest if stopped.
I was just speaking to a girl from Maine yesterday and surprisingly ALL of the stablehands at her barn are hispanic, 10 years ago they didn't even have hispanics in her town. Anyway, what % of these Central American laborers do you think are illegals?
