I see these jokes all of the time but I have never seen a group of Mexicans hanging out at HD looking for work and I doubt anyone making these jokes has.

No, they're definitely there. In Mid City Nola, after they closed the Home Depot on Carrolton, next to Rouses, there were Latinos hanging out front, I'm talking months afterwards, they were still there. That blew my mind. I figured they'd have gone to an actual hardware store. But I guess there was enough renovations going on in mid city, they still found work.

Personally, I'm fine with Latino workers. I'm a construction inspector, and have seen how hard they get at it. Ask farmers in Alabama about when they passed those crazy racist laws what happened. The economy went to shite, the food rotted, and the local crackers wouldn't do the work. Americans are self-entitled, and most can't handle manual labor like Manuel can.
