In North Carolina, the big bosses say all are welcomed to be treated like crap here.

Because of this: http://www.brac.gov/, new home and apartment construction around here is beyond belief! Recession? Not in new home construction, not here. They can't build the dang things fast enough. What was beautiful, flat farmland last year has turned into mushroom fields of HUGE brand new homes.

In a 30 mile radius, at least 90% of the construction laborers are immigrants. Whether they are legal or illegal no one seems to want to ask or bother to investigate.

Not long ago, Fort Bragg was found to have illegal, undocumented immigrants working on it so all bets are off on who's doing the work on the thousands of new home construction (and TARP highway construction too) sites going up.
