If they settled, we're paid on commission through a fee structure... we would get 15-20% of that as a fee.
If we were to settle a lower amount for them, we would get less in fees,... what our commission is based on"

20-40% of construction labor are (15-30% illegal) immigrants, 40% in CA & Texas.
63% in NYC, 40% of those are undocumented.
That means almost half of what might help increase housing supply and lower housing cost.
