Since I visited the site pretty much daily, I can tell you that, with the exception of plumbers and electricians, there wasn't much English being spoken.
People act as if these jobs should be given to US citizens and they don't understand the control over who gets the jobs is with the employers - the ones who want to pay you pennies on the dollar, be able to cut you with no notice, give you zero benefits. You don't see our poor leaving the country for Mexico to work the fields. Because our poor have become accustomed to the social benefits this country provides.
