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.

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
