re: There’s always that one on your block..

I managed a Maid service for over a year. It was based in Colorado. The owner was greedy and would hire anyone- and did not e-verify. When the HR rep and I sorted out her jacked-up older records, we realized most had no social or sometimes two, with different names and numbers. They were all on assistance, free homes, childcare, and food stamps, and asked us to verify that they only worked part-time. They all worked full-time, made $22 an hour and up, and got freebies

They shared a truck or SUV ( new) with their "husband". He worked in construction, and I am sure it was the same situation.

So imagine two skilled laborers with no bills but car, insurance, and gas. Making close to 100k. What a life.

My boss did get burned, she owed 25k in back Taxes for paying under the table and then switching them to a w-2 once they got their "docs".

She's a Democrat. Not a Republican.

I now work in staffing. It's the same on all construction sites. They refuse to hire skilled locals.

All the trucks have Texas license plates. The workers are all from Mexico and will tell me they are.

STOP hiring them. They are the reason for a lot of the problems we have.

In neighborhood there’s always a few houses that don’t bring in their trash cans for days after trash runs. The stereotype verifies

Renters, in general, don't mow their yards often enough, or bring in the trash cans. Sometimes I don't know who's to blame, case by case, the owner or the renter, It's still on the owner if he has an agreement that the renter is responsible for mowing, but the renter isn't complying.
