Today I have watched four Mexicans form, pour and finish my new patio.

They also busted up part of my driveway and repoured it. They have worked like mules, and have done an excellent job.

These men could be seen on every rooftop in New Orleans after Katrina. They more or less rebuilt this city. They come here to work, and they work. They don't think anybody owes them anything. Which is more than I can say for vast segments of the native population.

I am pretty right wing, but I would support some sort of effort to give these guys a path to citizenship if they want it, provided we close the border.

They take all the crappy jobs any educated person wouldn't want. I don't have a problem with it. But I do think it's bullshite that companies are being forced to have Spanish versions of everything. Here in Alabama we speak English. Learn it.

Building house. The Mexicans worked their asses off and we are 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Now the white people come in and we are back on schedule.

They crew that does my yard work their asses off. They do 5 yards on my street alone. And they work. And are generally friendly about... always smiling and laughing... of course, ask anyone other than the owner of the outfit a question and he'll just smile and nod. Smile and nod.

I am 1,000% for a closed and secure border.

I also make my living in the construction industry and know 1,000% that this country would crumble under its own weight without the Hispanic working population.

shite. If it weren't for our neighbors to the south not a single house in Dallas would be framed, roofed, have a paved street in front of it, a new tollway to get to it or well...

F the Right. Only time they work that hard is to get a picture of them loading a wheelbarrow in front of a Habitat for Humanity one time deal.

Mexicans will put any white worker to shame. And I would include myself in that.

You see them gathered in the 100's every morning hoping someone will stop and offer them a days wage doing jobs most of us don't want.

While others spend their days asking to avoid work and find ways to deceptively collect undeserved assistance.


I agree with OP

You'd have 32 downvotes on the Poli board with all the right wing loons over there.

I agree btw.
