yea but not really. I work in the HVAC industry, and there's lots of illegals from Mexico and latin America with middle school and elementary educations working in all facets of the industry. From new construction to service calls. They do it all. And they work cheaper! I don't think the trades are a good source for jobs anymore for kids today when you have a system that basically allows anybody with a pulse to work without verification. Maybe they were 10, 15 y
ears ago, but not today. And the construction industry is very compe ive and unpredictable thanks to the influx of illegals.
