People don’t want to work, plus they are not paid enough. It may take longer to get buildings completed.

Yeah so much for not needing immigrant labor illegal or not they're needed because the average American doesn't want to do these jobs.

Go to Canada to find your construction workers!! Yes Canada. Set up a job fair in Canada at the Hilton hotel conference room. Take out a half page advertisement in the local daily newspaper and advertise your job fair. Put recruiters at your job fair ready to hire trades people right there. Canada has a HUGE SURPLUS of construction workers!! l You would be doing Canada a favor and yourself a favor by hiring Canadian construction workers.
