cracking down on the laborers in front of home depot and lowes.

Wow!

Has it effected things at all in your area? Do you see less day laborers?

I've never seen this at any home depot in my area. Maybe this is a down south thing.

Well, here in Reno this past weekend. ICE cracked down HARD on fast food restraunts and casinos. I think all but 4 or 5 Mc Donalds had to close completely because there was no one to work anymore. I think that isn't enough personally, but another topic all together.

Well i cant say i ever seen this in front of lowes, but i never go there until weekends/late evenings. Although there's some lawn/tree service owners who pay under the table i know of.. Mainly because the guys they use call wonting a job with me..

I do wish we had immigration around here though.. Reasons I'm sure i dont have to explain to you guys.
