I just had the roof done on a condo I have in Phoenix

Check that date and time

It was 115 degrees when that white boy was up there

I asked for his papers before I hired him

Insurance, contractor license, certificate of workers comp insurance

The works

I will not hire illegal labor for any of my projects

Do you have any idea what happens when yours is stolen and used by one of them?

It takes years and many dollars to straighten out for the victim

I have a grandson who can't get a Pell grant because he owes the IRS taxes on wages earned on his stolen SS number

Very common in Arizona

6. Just because He speaks in Spanish does not mean he is illegal. My daughters Spanish teacher is from

Mexico now a US citizen and still has an extremely thick accent and speaks to her own kids in Spanish and prefers to speak in Spanish as that is her first language. Of course in business or with English speaking folk she speaks English . I try to correct her if she pronounces something wrong as she is still learning even though a citizen. Slang is hard for her.
This is exactly what people are upset about . If you have an accent or are speaking in Spanish haters assume you are illegal which means you are a criminal possibly a murderer or druggie. She came here on an exchange program for Spanish speaking teachers from the university of Mexico City and eventually became a citizen . Nothing illegal about that but doubt trump vigilantes
stop to hear her story .
