1. The immigrant construction workers are highly skilled, brave, and hard working.

There are new houses going up behind where I live.
I cannot help but see these guys working every day.

Yesterday I watched one roofer put a roof on a big two story house all by himself.
And he did it quickly and perfectly. It was very hot, dangerous work.
He worked all day and got the job done. Amazing.

I wanted to walk over and tell him to take a break, get under some shade and drink some liquids.

Last winter I watched two guys put on a roof in a snow storm with high winds.
Very dangerous with 50 mph gusts.

These guys have more courage than the coward Gestapo Ice secret police.
