Back in south georgia good ole boy rednecks had already grown too expensive to employ a few years back - the cheap mexican labor had replaced the white work crews. My friend - an ex con redneck who liked his skoal used to do a lot of landscaping work - he trained a few other white boy rednecks - about 10 years ago they were all doing well. Anyways he left and went and lived in the woods eric rudolph style, came back and all his old co-workers and underlings were running good landscaping businesses with about 50-100 yards a week each but they had several mexicans working under them now - and my friend said I dont get it, back 10 years ago when I tried to employ mexicans my clients cut me because they only wanted me working thier yards - they didnt trust non english speaking mexicans - but times have changed in south georgia. Remember the show Miami Vice - don johnson is now with the latin sidekick Nash bridges style - black yard men is so 80's - hehe. We went to the local john deere dealership to see about getting my friend a loan for a nice zero radius turn sp lawn mower - they told him no - bad credit - record - but these 2 illegal mexicans came in behind him and got the loan and the mower - crazy huh? An established redneck can't get money - but the illegal who had probably only been here less than a year got a loan for 10K in lawn equipment for his new yard business. One of these guys my friend trained, had 4 mexicans doing the yards for him - he had got loans for a nice new house, a nice new truck, nice new yard equipment, giving his new wife all the money he had left over - my ex con friend that trained him said you are a fool my old friend - how are you gonna pay all that shit back - you don't even work anymore - you just boss around the mexico boys, and once the customers get used to them - they will CUT you out and deal with the mexicans directly for lots cheaper - that was 2 years ago. Last I heard the guys marriage was coming apart and he was headed for bankruptcy - my ex con friend went and slept with his wife - BWAHAHA! what a pal.
