Los Angeles correspondent Carter Evans’s recent trend of stories on CBS Evening News highly critical of immigration law enforcement continued on Friday as he claimed deportation efforts are making it difficult to rebuild Los Angeles after recent wildfires.
Evans began by showing the interior of a home under construction, “This construction site has just about everything you need to build a traditional family home. Everything except enough workers.”
His human interest story for the segment was Jason Pietruszka, a general contractor, and Pietruszka declared, “We have probably three people on-site, four people on-site, and normally we would have about double, we would have about 8-10 people.”
After Evans asked, “Where are they?” Pietruszka claimed, “They’re hiding. People are going to come to work.”
Evans elaborated in a voiceover, “Jason Pietruszka is a general contractor in Los Angeles. He says he only hires builders here in the country legally, but he also relies on companies that employ highly skilled undocumented labor. Many of those workers are now no-shows because they’re fearful of the ramped up ICE raids.”’
