Show some respect

Today we will host a nice lunch for the men laying pavers in our backyard. None of them except the owner and boss are Americans. These men come across the border for as long as they can and work. They work harder than most Americans, and send the money home. They don't speak English. These are good people, nice people, and to see the Republican Party stir up hate, and disrespect is very sad. 

These men and women rely on relatives that have become citizens to make this whole thing work. The economy here depends on hard working people. If the Mexicans did not build these houses, the houses would not be built. It is that simple. Kadizzle has watched Americans try to do the work. The American boys don't last long. The cell phone keeps them busy. 

The boss of the workers is a Mexican that speaks perfect English. Such a very nice guy. Kadizzle asked him to use his jack hammer to bust up a big rock in the crawl space. Kadizzle said tell me would ten or twenty dollars do the trick. No, he said he would do it for nothing. Kadizzle insisted he take twenty dollars. At the end of a hard, hot, tiring day Ervin went into the crawl space to bust the rock after his regular job ended. Ervin was struggling with the rock. Kadizzle said quit, Ervin said " I don't quit".  Kadizzle finally convinced Ervin to go home. Ervin said he had to go home get cleaned up and go to his cousin's graduation. She wants to be a doctor, and Ervin was going to buy her some flowers. 

Kadizzle was driving off to get the hamburgers and fixings for the lunch today when he noticed the workers had been locked into the construction site on our road. After a long hard day Ervin and his helper had to take down a fence and put it back up so they could get their truck out. It was a dirty trick by the crew doing the work on the street.  The heavy  equipment operators making good money running equipment have to pick on these guys working with hand tools. This is just like Republicans calling these people drug dealers, rapist, and illegals. Have some respect.
