I've seen some internet content posted by home inspectors that has been quite critical of the electrical work performed in new homes. Then, today, I see a News Nation report that Texas builders warn that the current immigration enforcement activities are having a bad effect on building.
Are the builders openly admitting to using unqualified help?
If so . . . I wonder if the shoddy electrical work is being performed by unqualified people working for unlicensed contractors. If so, I have to ask: Where's the AHJ?
I mean, why should I bother keeping current with code when I'm only going to be pushed aside by phantoms - and the AHJ won't get any closer to the job than the local donut shop?

You lost me at "Home Inspector". wink

Most only had a faint familiarity with code compliance when I saw them.
