Controversy Erupts Over Sample Lawn Mowing Company Business Card

LINK

CARROLLTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – A North Texas lawn mowing company has come under fire, after an old, sample business card resurfaced. The controversial message has angered some people




quote:

It says “American owned. Your alternative to illegal lawn services” and “Taking back Carrollton – one lawn at a time.”

I see nothing wrong with the card. If you don’t see the immigration problem today then your head is in the sand or you’re a nu-male bitch. Maybe both.

Most of the country sees is. That’s why it was such a popular campaign topic. The ‘outrage’ is probably coming from a handful of vocal SJWs.

That’s not “controversial.” Talk about trying to stir things up at every turn possible. By that token, a card reading, “Your illegal lawn cutting service” would be fine and appropriate.

If 10 scream real loud, they can sometimes sound like 20. I guess this may vary depending on cloud cover, surroundings and background noise.

It does not change the fact that the sky does not have ears.

That’s not controversy erupting. That’s probably 4-5 Liberal braindeads getting their panties in a wad over nothing significant and trying to milk it for attention.

No it won't. People are gonna stick with the Mexicans once they see the price difference.

I almost want to move to Carrollton just to let these patriots mow my lawn.

I bet the Mexicans still work faster, have cleaner edge ups, won’t talk your head off about “specials” and referrals, and are 25% cheaper.

I see nothing wrong with it either, at least for the business owner. He's trying to leverage his competitive advantages.

Unfortunately for him, the vast majority of folks stop caring about this stuff when it comes to hard labor. They're 100% against illegals until it comes time to have a guy cut their yard or shingle their roof. At that point they pivot and say they just want a hard worker at a fair price. It's pure hypocrisy.

There is some irony, however. Those illegal mowers? Hired by God-fearing Trump voters by the 10's of thousands.

Build that wall is cool to say until you need shite done.
