<<All the best workers in the building trade here are Mexican>>

In CA this is only partly true. The best workers in the building trades are Mexican American. Naturalized citizens who ARE paying taxes. The aliens are strictly bottom rung laborers and most are hardly worth the minimum wage they command if only because they can't speak the language.If they went on strike it would only be a minor problem as there are naturalized Mexicans to fill much of the gap (of course for more money) ...Besides they live paycheck to paycheck which is usually daily and share rent . They wouldn't last long, nor would they be missed.
