They treat every work site like an ash tray.

As much as I hate this, isn’t it because there’s typically a cleanup crew behind them?

Yea it was me picking up cigarette butts in my yard. They treat places they work like complete garbage

Yes plenty.....
Here's the bottom line with Mexicans.....
You give them an inch they want a mile...then they act like they dont speak or read English when it's convenient for them
they're loud, obnoxious, dirty and they stink.
But they work harder than any Gringo or African American, and they are very religious but dont mind working 7 days a week

I used to manage a restaurant. Give me 2 Mexicans over 6 entitled Americans any day of the week. The Mexicans were punctual, polite, would take all the available hours, and worked hard. The entitled Americans were constantly late, unprofessional, would find any excuse they could to leave early, and were lazy.
The problem is that their kids and grandkids will be born here and become part of the entitled group

They’re an economic drain, they absorb more in benefits than they add to the economy.

This is very true. I think it just be cultural. I’ve noticed that Hispanic people will ask for three things at a time in the hopes that you will say yes to one.

Yup and most are catholic and prolife

But there's an economic trade-off. I'm no economist and I'm not claiming it's an equal trade-off, but America is getting older and we need more working-age people to keep the gears turning and the machine going. And also the more Mexicans working in poultry plants and the fields, the cheaper your chicken and fruit is at the grocery store.
So you admit you just want to flood the country with Mexicans to be subservient class and keep your food cheap?

After 2016 floods, you’d be shocked how many new construction type houses had to remove dry wall and found the walls were full of trash. Modelo cans and bottles and other garbage

They are great people mostly. Got to stop voting against their own interests.
But yeah. I'm a fan.

One of my best friends is half Hispanic.
I've spent probably 10 years of my life in residential, commercial, and industrial construction.
I can't remember a negative interaction.

Little story, probably TL;DR, I have from a work trip in Mexico City that I think says a lot about the genuinely good and kind natured people you’ll come across down there.
Me and two coworkers (both of which are Mexican) were riding bikes in Mexico City during down time of our project that brought us there. We biked thru these little neighborhood pockets of the city where the locals had set up little sidewalk boutiques, table top restaurants, “tourist traps” etc. The area was honestly pretty rough, but had its charm.
Now mind you, we weren’t riding recklessly, but with all the people walking around and “businesses” set up on the sidewalks and streets there just wasn’t much space to navigate. We cut around this corner where a small outdoor restaurant was that only had a few tables set up with bowls of salsa and other things, but no customers just the family that ran it I’m guessing. There was a low hanging cable which ran across the corner that me and one coworker narrowly avoided, but the other coworker who was a little behind us didn’t see it in time before it was too late.
He ducked just in time to avoid being clotheslined off the bike, but swerved off the corner and crashed straight into one of the tables. Luckily he just got scratched up some, but was totally embarrassed by what happened. He immediately starts apologizing and the family just starts to clean the mess up and assures him it’s fine. What happened next is something I don’t think you’ll find often in the US.
My coworker pulls out his wallet and tries to make amends by giving them money for the trouble. Up to this point, these folks were as friendly and understanding as can be. But, as he was grabbing a $20 from his wallet, they had seemingly gotten offended by what one would assume was an honest gesture to right a wrong. They spoke with him in Spanish, which I don’t speak, and the interaction ended with them not taking any of his money, despite several attempts of him trying desperately to get one of the family members to take the $20. He even put the money in one of their hands and wouldn’t take it back, but they just handed it over to me and eventually we went on our way.
Later on I gave my coworker back his $20 and asked what they said to him. He said they were more offended by him offering money than him crashing into their table. That they weren’t those kind of people. And it was an accident so it wouldn’t have been right for them to take his money.
Now, $20 isn’t much, but it was probably equivalent to what they would make if the tables were filled with customers. But, still, without hesitation they turned it down and didn’t budge at all as he kept trying to give them the money. I think about this from time to time and can only imagine the vast difference of how it would have been handled in a large city here in the US. Maybe it could result the same way, but most likely that’s not how people here are.
And not that this is the case with all Mexicans, but by and large,I think there’s a sincere goodness within them that most Americans are lacking nowadays.

I went to public schools in CA, so yeah, a few.

I've always had good interactions with them. My neighbors are Mexicans, and they're good people.
When it snows, the city doesn't plow my street so I usually get out there and shovel it. Seems like every time I'm out there shoveling it, some random Mexican will drive past on the main street, see me shoveling the street, then stop and get out their shovel and help. They never ask for, nor accept, anything for the help.
There's a lot of unproductive, rude people (of all races) that I would gladly trade for Mexicans.

On a soccer field, yes.
Off a soccer field, no.
After a soccer game is over and everyone has calmed down - almost always no.

The contractor working on our office building had his whole crew go back to Mexico for Christmas and New Year so everything came to a halt for two weeks.

I don't give a frick about how "nice" they appear to some of you. They're a drain.
And yes, every single time I speak to a Hispanic on US soil and they can't speak English, it is a negative interaction.
Learn the Queen's English or get the frick out.

I’ve had as many bad experiences with Mexicans and I’ve had with white folks. I grew up around 2.5 hours north of the border and live around the same distance away now.
