Yes, Figmo, I do understand about the costs of contractors and subcontranctors and the cost of "who swings the hammer".

It is my belief, contrary to some others here, that you would not find enough "hammer swingers" to build The Villages if there were no undocumented workers to hire. It is not a cost issue, but a supply of people wanting to work.

I honestly do not think you could find the same number of US citizens who would work in the hot Florida sun putting up concrete blocks and doing roofing work as we have now.

Of course, there is no way of telling which of us is right or wrong since no changes are going to be made here - and that is a good thing.
