There’s more to it than that, I work with them almost daily. I’ve been roofing 37 years. Started out as a laborer. The Mexican crews charge the same or more than white/black mixed crews. At least they did, now there are literally no white crews left to be found. And if you do find one, they are all methheads that do crappy work. Our young people are not getting into construction like I did when I was 18. The cellphone/ video game generation isn’t about all that sweating.

Seems like the "Mexicans will work construction jobs for lower wages" commenters on this board have never been on a construction site and are just making shite up as they go along. Aside from landscaping and washing dishes, Mexicans haven't beeen cheap in 15-20 years. A lot of the Mexicans on work sites could drive 60,000 dollar trucks if they wanted to, but they choose not to.

And the idea that there are a bunch of hardworking reliable American tradesmen just sitting on the sidelines and playing video games all day because they refuse to work for Mexican wages is another partisan pipe dream.
