I want to start a lawn service around here called "Gringo's Lawn Care". I literally think you could drum up work purely by not being the typical Mexican landscaper. Not that I have a problem with that, I have a Mexican guy who is awesome (I believe he's legal....). Just know that you are going to get attention if you advertise that you are not. So why not cash out on it.

And they say the media has no bias? Prime example right here with how they presented the story. And Fonzi (the one who apparently had a problem with it and called the station) should mind his own business.

Not when people see what he charges in comparison.

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

Wrong. Real trump supporters own zero turns and cut their own grass

The only thing wrong with that card is how hideous it is, IMO.

Exactly. Everyone is principled until they've got to pay double the price for their weekly cut.

The outrage is coming from those with ties to illegals and guilty SJWs

Yeah it’s a bunch of $120k household income families in $350k+ houses with 2-4 kids. They aren’t paying more for their .10 acre lot to be mowed.

Who fricking cares? If they are hiring illegals to cut their grass, they are probably doing it bc of the price. Unless the all USA crew can match the price, those cheapos prob still won't hire them.

Also there are plenty of Mexicans over here legally, and I'm sure some of them run legit businesses too. If anything they should quit beating around the bush and just declare they are white people looking to cut some grass.

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


This.

Once you find a Mexican crew that works hard, you're hooked. It's like getting weed for pennies - it shouldn't be possible.

Who even checks to see if their grass guy is legal?

This guy apparently uses Mexicans to do the work anyway.

Just go to any fiesta or Home Depot in or around Carrollton. No one will hesitate to hire some of those Mexicans for a quick job.

I got mine on referral. Have had him for 7 years. He's never raised prices, never misses a week, always cleans up, and brings 4 other guys. $30 for everything. I have no idea how he survives.

Like I'm going to pay this cracka $100 for the same job just because he's a white guy (who uses Mexicans anyway).
