Widely scorned, illegal workers do Europe's heavy lifting

That sounds familiar.

PARIS In the early morning hours, the construction bosses come to the smoky cafes near the Gare du Nord train station. One day they might need a half-dozen bricklayers. The next day it might be painters. The workers are gathered together and driven to the construction site, then dropped off at the end of the day.

This happens all the time in CA cities......to a lesser extent in other cities on the West coast and in the Midwest.

He noted that there was talk of keeping illegal workers out, but not of cracking down on people who employ illegal workers. To do that, he said, would not be "a vote-winner."

The very thing JF has complained about.
