I don't think the Minutemen are having an impact on the site. Nationally I think they're having an impact on people's opinions about immigration, but I don't think they're having an impact locally.

This is definitely as much business as we have ever seen.

Hiring is pretty good in the area right now. But we're likely to see a 30 to 40, even 50 percent increase in the hires of workers come the spring and summer.

It's very much noticeable at the site ? the worker's involvement. They're voicing their opinions all the time and that's exactly what we want.

In late February, early March, the hiring season will start to blossom again and what that means is more workers. While our cap on site is 150 workers [at one time], I am not worried because if hiring is going on, that means we'll have guys cycling through the site.

Most of the guys recognize this is like staring a new business ? we need time. And, it's not a great time to start a business for workers because there's not a lot of work due to the weather.
