nutjob alert

I take it you've never worked a manual labor job in your entire life. I'm also gonna guess you've never seen a Mexican crew working alongside a white or black crew. Or maybe it's just that you don't like it when people work hard for a decent day's pay.

Dunno, but you've got a serious problem here, and your utter stupidity isn't gonna help you solve it

Man, it really is stupidity. Americans are the way they are (lazy and entitled), and Mexicans fill that gap and actually do the work. I could go on and on about it, but people who have a brain understand that no problems stem from them coming to work hard every day. The stupidity comes from absolutely zero knowledge of the situation, and people just like huffing and puffing.

Most of the younger ones want to work sun up to sun down, 7 days a week. I know a bunch of crews where the boss/owner has to make them take a day off. They will show up every day unless told not to. Try getting a white or black crew to do that

I know a lot of naturalized and illegal immigrants, so I feel strongly about this issue. I'd bet dollars to donuts Bossier2323 wouldn't have the fortitude to go through the whole process of becoming a legal citizen if he was forced to. The cheapest I've ever heard someone getting it done for was $12,000, and it took him 5 years. My sister's friend's mom is from Nicaragua, and is already about $35k deep and has been fighting it for around 10 years.

I pledged earlier to not make this a political issue on this board but I'm finding restraint very difficult. I'm glad I'm not alone in here about how I feel on this issue.

Don't automatically assume they are all Mexicans. Most of the other Hispanics will get offended of you call them Mexican, provided they're not Mexican. Based on my previous experiences, Hondurans can't stand Mexicans.

You're 100% correct, though. The Hispanics work circles around Americans, all Americans. I've never used labor from Home Depot, but I do have multiple crews on all of my commercial construction job sites so I'm covered. I had a Honduran family move me from my last house to the current one last summer. The father and three sons moved all of the heavy items, while the wife and daughter unpacked everything. This made moving a 6 hour event, over a two to three day ordeal. I paid them by way of sending a baby crib home with them, $500 cash, and provided pizza for lunch. Since the move, I used them to build a privacy fence, and the daughter was the maid for a few months.

Thanks for contributing to one of Americas main problems

The main problem with America at the moment is most Americans (all races) aren't willing to do the job these guys will do. If they were, the hispanics would not be here to begin with.

I know they're not all Mexican. That's just the nomenclature I use because I just don't like the actual word Hispanic. Something about it annoys me, but I don't use it in their presence.

Most of the tree planting crews used in the pine industry are from Guatemala. Those guys absolutely smoke Americans, and put machinery to shame. It's pretty neat to see how fast they can throw a bulb in the ground without stopping.

Some people like their houses framed by white guys. They just need to know that it's gonna be more expensive and take a minimum of twice as long to get it done. You've also gotta realize that most of them are either gonna be drunk or high after lunch.

I recently had my house raised. Guess who was underneath the house digging, and guess who was playing on their phones smoking cigs. Those guys were even under my house in the rain digging dirt out. One was crawling around with a hand pump pumping water out, and the other three were digging.

No matter what anyone says...If you can't respect someone that works hard every day, you've got a problem.

I'm a big proponent of altering the naturalization procedures. As long as stupid people spout ignorant things off and politicians use immigration as a talking point, nothing is gonna get done.

Hispanics and Muslims should get a free ride into america because their work ethics are great

Come on man. You're the one who threw Muslims in there and you know there are totally different dynamics at play in those two scenarios.

I'm perfectly okay with shutting down illegal immigration as long as we drastically reduce welfare and unions.

Then maybe the folks here will have to work like the Hispanics to survive. Until then, the benefits of these workers our way the negatives.

Bossier is a goal post moving fella.

For the most part they are good people looking to make an honest buck , they're not the lazy fricking American who wants a hand out ....

Besides Louisiana is a "friendly state" for them , illegal or not they are not going anywhere.....
