    Every contractor out there uses undocumented labor. Drywall, roofing, landscaping, all skyrocket in price without the labor of immigrants.

      That’s true. But you’re wrong about calling housing “cheap”, unless you’re in “flyover country”.

        Cheap is subjective but if it makes you feel better to say “you’re wrong” then OK, thanks for contributing.

        It would be more expensive without undocumented labor.

            Someone feels the need to jump into conversations to try to correct subjective statements while actually contributing nothing to the conversation. They should’ve began their statement with “well akshully!”

            “Whatever.”

      The industry I work in "flooring " hope you don’t want carpet or floors install in your homes. Because 99% of the labor done by illegal immigrants.

      They are responsible for all the apartments in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area I know for a fact.

      And the reason they only ones doing it because what I been told by few older contractors is pricing for carpet installers hasn’t changed since the fucking 1990’s.
