Eddie Tyler called it in I bet lol. Gulf Shores left the Baldwin County School System but was still fighting to keep their cut of taxes they were getting.

When I was a kid it was unusual to have a Hispanic doing construction and nowadays it is unusual not to have basically the whole crew being Hispanic.

I noticed the change in BR around the time the Mall of Louisiana was being built. Lots of Texas contractors in the construction arena.

Nice, but this will stay whack a mole until you start putting the employers in jail.

These contractors are biding on state contracts while low balling others because they use undocumented workers.

They should never be awarded another federal/state contract

Good. You could clearly see all the Hispanic workers from the beach express. Fine the general contractor and the subcontractors who are working them and stop this shite. America First!

It saves money today but how much do you think it costs state governments in the long run to maintain such shoddy work ?

Time to start enforcing Alabama's e-verify system. And past time to punish the contractors that hire these illegals.

Baldwin Co. is full of these mf'ers. Ice hit a couple of DR Horton subdivisions about a month ago.

Couple of subdivisions close to where my mom lives had a little van that went from location to location selling Mexican food at lunch for the work crews.

The clients (State and federal) need to exclusively state in their bid documents that ONLY U.S. citizens and legally authorized immigrant/alien workers may perform work on these projects. Until that verbiage is specifically included in the pre-bid project specifications contractors will have to use workers that may-or-may-not-be fully compliant in order to remain competitive during the bid phase.

We want very badly to land work and perform with a fully legal and compliant crew, but we find that we have to resort to using workers whose documents are suspicious (to say the least) in order to land work and compete in the market for construction. This includes municipal, state, and federal projects.

Until the hammer is dropped across the board this problem is going to continue. Easiest way to do it, I think, is to establish a date certain that specifically requires all workers to be US citizens or authorized, documented aliens from that point forward. E-Verify certainly didn't do shite due to it's legalese verbiage intentionally allowing it to be loosely interpreted and easily circumvented.

Pretty sure in some states illegals have already been found using E-verify with stolen identity data.
