A huge part of Lexington is known as Mexington.

Yet, you enjoy lower cost items everyday because of their lack of paying taxes……..see how that works?

work near Bellaire in Houston and the amount of Mexicans outside looking for work cannot be exaggerated. I bet there are close to 200 of them in the morning and about 50 at any given time during the day.

Meanwhile, there are a bunch of able bodied white and black losers panhandling at every intersection who will never ever ever try to work

I like Mexicans.

Murder rate in south Texas cities are like 1/10th of what it is here. A bunch of people should move to Brownsville before Elon Musk makes it popular.

Sorry brah, it was my buddies and I drunk as heck after partying for St Patrick’s day.

We were buying treated lumber to build a deck to give us an excuse to drink.

Mexicanos are half-assers from way back. Fk them. I’d rather no work than shoddy work.

The Walmart on Burbank may as well be a Tijuanan maternity ward

Growing up, most of the lawn care guys I saw were black. Now, it's nearly all Latinos. They took der jobs!

The lumber prices look like they are priced in pesos.

There’s a white lady begging at the intersection of Fondren and Westpark every single morning. She’s mildly overweight, mid 30s, wears different clean clothes, perfectly able bodied, and often is on her phone while standing there. Clearly a scam and not truly homeless. And STILL, motherfrickers keep paying her to stand there. There is absolutely no limit to people’s willingness to feed the strays. It’s like some people enjoy having beggars on every corner.

Much love in the thread for hard working Mexis. A couple years ago they were all rapists and murderers invading our southern border.

The solution to illegal immigration is to make it a felony to hire an illegal, whether for a chicken house, roofing contractor, or flower bed work. Put the employer in prison for a year or so. Jobs go away, and so do the illegals.

But Americans don’t really want that. We love the cheap labor, so no real solution will ever be enacted.

Nothing like being pissed about immigrants working hard on a Saturday.

Head to Walmart. You’ll see the exact opposite in their aisles. And they’re operating on your dime, Vato!!

Walk into the bathroom of that Home Depot at 8:00 on a weekday and you'll think you've entered hell.
