Tim Harrison, whose company is building the recreation center, said he cannot easily replace construction workers born in Mexico and Central America with native-born Americans, because most do not have the skills.
Finding replacement workers is especially difficult in Alabama, which has a tight job market, he said. The state has only 3.2% unemployment.
"The contractor world is full of Republicans. I'm not anti-ICE. We're supportive of what the president is trying to do. But the reality of it is our industry has to have the Hispanic immigrant-based workers in it," Harrison said.

Exactly. I’m not racist, I’m just concerned. It’s just a coincidence that all my concerns are about people of colour

Tariffs Are Coming For The Menu As Trump’s policies fluctuate, restaurants are swapping ingredients and crossing their fingers

Margaritas, Daiquiris etc to get more expensive in America because of tariffs. Surely the NRA will take action now?

To those who say that 16 and 17 year olds are not savvy enough to vote, I’d say look back at the Scottish Independence referendum where many, many youngsters were engaged in the process to a fantastic extent. Too many of the little bastards voted the wrong way however

Hugh Muir recalls the response of London Mayor Ken Livingstone to 7/7 from Singapore. I agree that, despite his flaws & failings at other times, that this was an important message

Clearing out my parents’ house last year after they both died I found a bottle of Lucozade, Best Before 1994, the year of my daughter’s birth. I’ve kept it.
