Seeking a job on the Marlins new ballpark?

With more than 6,000 applicants descending on the former site of the Orange Bowl last week seeking jobs on the Marlins' new ballpark, the project’s construction manager has created a Web site for potential employees.

Hunt/Moss, the joint venture between Hunt Construction Group of Arizona and Fort Lauderdale-based Moss & Associates, has posted a potential employment questionnaire on the site at huntmossjv.com. The site also includes information for companies wishing to bid for work on the project. Hunt/Moss estimates as many as 5,000 individual workers will be needed for the ballpark's construction.

“The outpouring of interest last week clearly demonstrates this is an important project that will provide much needed jobs during these difficult times,” Marlins President David Samson said in a statement. “We look forward to subcontractors beginning work the next several weeks.”

Construction crews began grading the site for the ballpark last week. Watch progress on the Marlins ballpark webcam. An official ceremonial ground-breaking is scheduled at 10 a.m. Saturday.

What a racket the Lorias are running with this stadium. A Madoff like heist on the coffers of Miami with the assistance of two banana Republic Mayors.

And as for those jobs the stadium will provide for people from this area.

HA HA HA HA HA

All those jobs are assigned by the contractor who brings his own. It is nothing but an old fashion Robbery.

Seriously, such ignorance in so few words:
1. South Florida is full of Cubans who automatically get political asylum here. They are not illegals.
2. Illegals here get other people's information to work. They get their taxes deducted from their paycheck like everyone else.
3. We're surrounded by water, our immigration problems are unique to South Florida.

WHy apply, youre just going to be paid with your own tax money...oh wait, many will be illegals who dont pay taxes
