This passed year n more have been frustrating. Subcontractors don’t have enough to man jobs. Temp agencies send thugs and druggies. I have many more projects planned but lack manpower. I’m pro-Trump, but we need immigrants ASAP. I’m sorry. Americans are spoiled, addicted, and too lazy.

Biggest problem for the company was finding people that could pass the piss test for lower level jobs. Money wasn't that bad either. Neither was the work and environment. Weed was just more important to them than the job.

You should look up how many immigrants we have.

Maybe your business is unattractive or you're looking in the wrong place?

Unless these immigrants are skilled at hydraulics and controls, and are willing to live in snow, they are of no use.

Now, if a couple of them want to come up to this culinary wasteland and start a decent Mexican restaurant, I’m willing to look the other way on the paperwork.

No he's not. There are plenty of able bodied Americans here in the states that can do the work. The business owner should consider paying higher wages to entice better workers. Instead, he shops around for the cheapest "druggie" from temp agencies and walk ups or indeed. This guy wants cheap slave labor that will do as their told.

To be fair, we don’t need more immigrants, we need to get rid of welfare, curb charities and buckle down for the brief crime wave. Then Americans will go to work.

That’s the hard choice, though.

YES - especially in Destin FL where this is a resort town and nobody who needs to work locally lives here. It’s brutal. Right now I’m offering $30.00/hour and don’t even drug screen anymore. I don’t even care about background checks anymore. I’ve had maybe 6 people apply that worked in the hospitality industry that I simply can’t use

It’s brutally bad to find good help

Sorry bud, you’re going to have to offer higher wages to get better workers. Labor market dynamics 101.

Higher wages? Like $15/hour to flip burgers? You a Bernie bot?

There are plenty of people who “could” work but won’t because the welfare state has destroyed their incentive. I’m all for legal immigrants but we need to get the folks off welfare and into the workforce before we go all in on that route.

They could definitely learn to work again if forced, but sadly none of our politicians will speak the truth and cut entitlements.

It’s not bullshite. Majority of all vendors and contractors agree with me. Whites are drug addicted and a hazard and blacks are useless and worried about the next rap album.

Stop providing diapers and food for lazy slugs locally. Christian charity is exacerbating the problem.

You have to compete in the market place. If you want good help, you have to pay them. 15/hr to flip burgers is fricking stupid. OP eluded to construction jobs...not burger flippers. You must have missed that
