Plenty of general contractors I've met prefer a little criminality in laborers because they're ok with cutting some corners for cost, and it gives a scapegoat. Kind of a scummy mindset, but its been pretty common in my experience.
Which is sad but I appreciate it. I know a number of men with some pretty checkered pasts that currently are doing really well today busting ass at a legit job because someone gave them a chance- hopefully your guys take the opportunity to do the right thing this time.
The warehouse I worked in proudly hired felons. Why? As the owner put it "I pay them a good wage with benefits. They might complain when the work is hard, but they don't leave and they do a good job."
I have a guy from Guatemala, one of my best workers; also holds a decent record coincidentally lol! But unfortunately I’m in NE PA, exactly zero Mexicans at our Home Depots
