All jokes aside the housing market might look pretty good for Keystone Custom Homes, but what really should happen, is people should look and drive around where this and other building contractors are building, and stop supporting these companies that use illegal aliens to do the work on their projects, which put good American tradesmen out of work for the sake of a dollar.

Keystone Custom and Charter Homes, use sub-contractors for the different trades, that use illegal aliens, and even when this is done, we as Americans should not support this kind of thing, by buying these homes.
There are smaller building contractors that don't and won't have illegal aliens on their job site period, and won't hire sub-contractors that use illegal aliens, and these are the true Americans that put their country and fellow Americans before any illegal aliens, for the sake of a dollar and getting the job done faster, which is not better. I think people supporting these companies, by buying their homes, need to think about the Americans that have families, that they've helped lose their jobs, due to supporting these companies wrong doings.

Keystone should really be ashamed of the crap they pull with the respect to the illegals they use.
There was a development in Mountville (Not a Keystone project) that used almost all out-of-state workers from the Virginia area, most of which were illegal. I wish the state would get off their butts and raid these fools already.

Not only that, but the quality (especially Keystone) is really sub-par. Quick and cheap is the name of the game, and I grimace to think of how these houses will hold up 30 years from now. I chuckle to see some of the ads with specials like "30k-100k off!" or "Free kitchen upgrade". Get real, when they are advertising these "deals", you're still overpaying!

Sprawl, I agree with you on the BS advertising to get people to buy their junk, and I know of the builder in Mountville you were talking about, I tried to get some work from them, and never even got a call back from them, and I thought it was kind of odd that they were from out of state, building around here,even some of the subs on the job site, were from a good distance from here, which I found odd also, because you got sub-contractors right around here that can do the work.

The sad part myself and others have reported to authorities about these illegal aliens, around here, and they do nothing to stop it, they just sit on their collective butts and collect a paycheck for doing nothing, and we wonder why our country is going own the drain, it's because of these LAZY A--holes in government that don't do their job, and when their appointed to a job and don't do it, then they ought to be fired or put out of that job period, no breaks, no hearings, just removed quickly.

Do you think anyone around here misses the money that got sent home to Mexico? It's the trickle down economy; It's trickling from here all the way down to family in Mexico. The INS will not do anything about it as there aren't enough illegals on a residential job at a time to justify the cost of rounding up the illegal labor. Until we get an outsider's perspective (A REAL outsider without Clinton retreads on all four wheels) in Washington nothing's going to happen anyway to those who break the law.
The key really is to go after those who hire illegal labor because the INS will be dealing with fewer people who have business interests to protect and the INS will avoid the costs and political quandry associated with deportation. If Jose and his brother can trip to Mexico and back every couple of weeks to swap out workers believe me they'll find their own way home when the money dries up. Notice the guy on the roof was a Zimmerman, not Mexican laborer. They don't miss a beat.
There's a story for you, Harper. Nobody's getting footage of illegal labor out in the field and going into builder's offices and confronting them about it. Keystone's got great marketing going for them and they've cut their costs to the bone as stated by TB'ers so they may be in a better position to ride out a slowdown. But it's possible they've lost their good name in the process. Or not.
