Give it 5 years and you'll see why local labor is more expensive. All I can say is you get what you pay for.

You're right u do get what u pay for, I don't see the point in paying a hungover American 10/ sqft to frame a house that has the " I can't see it from my house" attitude!
I own 2 construction companies , 1 of which I have all legal Hispanics and I charge more for our services that 99% of other crews..... Because we take our time , do it right the first time , and are reliable . When I first moved to Louisiana I could not believe the lack of skill and pride " local" crews had... I didn't have to wait 5 years I could see how bad they sucked right away.
