I worked for 7 years in construction (3 as a licensed contractor) in the state of California. What relevant experience do you have?

Why pay illegals the prevailing wage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
Why pay illegals the prevailing wage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
Also:
"The Davis-Bacon law requires federal contractors to pay workers at least the prevailing wages in the area where the work is conducted. It applies to federally funded construction projects such as highways and bridges. "
Bush's chronies cant be having any of that. After all, why should they pay decent wages if it cuts into their profit margin???

Why would you pay medium skilled painters, for example, $40 per hour (prevailing organized labor wage) when you have a supply of decent painters willing to work for $9?
This is not the corner case, but the type of example that happens on a large scale.

simple as that he can work for as long as he gets caught.. not rocket science, nor does it make it legit in any way. If you were half the flag waving citizen you pretend to be you would have called the authorities and reported his ***.
What you cant live up to your own ideas and words?

wrong our economy encourages folks to come here illegally.
And if you were half the man you try and make your self out to be you would turn him in, on the principles you so lovingly share with us.

If you cant understand how granting no-bid contracts to your connections and then disbanding laws that ensure fair pay are potentially unfair, then there is no point carrying on a discussion with you regarding this matter.
Have a nice day

So you actually think that act creates fair pay more than 70 years after it was created? Again, you have blinders on, and clearly have no clue what you are talking about.

Keep up the good work!

My God... you argue like John Kerry. Way to deviate every single thread into some random *** argument that has no linear cohesiveness.
Looking critically into policy decisions is not "anti-Bush". That's great if Bush has indeed done some good things for our economy; it has no relevance to the discussion at hand.
Again...
