Anyone else in construction?

Or any other industry with heavy immigrant employment? I'm getting a lot of communication today that the guys are refusing to work because it is a national immigrant protest day.

[Jewrrick]

not in the industry but I found this.

I saw some of the articles and blurbs earlier in the week and it is all in relation to that protest. What a large portion of them don't realize is that they are here legally and this doesn't affect them, unless I have a complete misunderstanding of what the new administration is wanting to do, which is possible. The democrats and MSM, have them scared, and when these guys get scared and don't understand something, they get pissed off.

yep, but all of our guys are documented and union.

i was looking for the guy who was asking about tile work, he better hurry up and get it done! ICE was in Richardson with a check point set up yesterday.

Makes it easy to figure out who is legal and who is not.....

No shit? I wonder if that affected any of our job sites over that way.

I've been on site at a hospital in Arlington and all of Beck's subs and direct employees were on site.

My business is construction based.

All my guys are legal but I've been to 3 job sites this morning that were as busy as ever....

This would explain why my "Thursday" lunch Mexican restaurant was randomly closed today.

[Grimpala]

Maybe they'll start to understand that we don't have a problem with the legal immigrants, and a lot of the people that voted for Trump bring their lunches from home and don't eat out all that often.

I've seen a lot of traffic online regarding people eateries closed today.

[Craizie]

Our Hispanic car wash dude showed up to work today.

Really, it's not a good protest point, IMHO. Legal immigrants arent working to protest illegal immigrants being held accountable? Seems like a stretch, considering it doesnt have anything to do with them, assuming they are legal.
