HI, My point was that companies like Labor Ready are hiring those poor Blacks and Caucasians and Samoans and others of different nationalities who, according to Andreas' friends, are lazy. In those cities where the trucks go by, they are not hired as day-labor. Here (and other places) where the trucks do NOT go by, there IS a market for daylabor and those hired are often those here legally (by birth or otherwise) This was in response to the 'no Americans are willing to work at those jobs'. (and esp those 'poor Blacks'--seemed a bit racist to me, but hey...maybe I know too many Blacks who are hard working and thus break the 'stereotype...) Best, Marlena
