I'm pretty sure that there are a bunch of Americans, say in downtown Memphis, or in a backwater Mississippi town as a neighbor or relative of Honey Boo Boo, that will not do the work the Mexicans are.

Go try and recruit them there and see.
Maybe so, but they don't represent the majority of Americans who are willing to do those jobs. Not everyone in the south is backwards and lazy either. Nice try but no cigar. There is no defense or justification for hiring illegal aliens so why just refer to them as plain old "Mexicans"?

They will do the same work that illegals will, but they won't do it for as cheap a wage as the illegals will.
Oh, and Honey Boo Boo's neighbors live in GA, not in MS or Memphis.

Really? I spend half my time in the deep south.
I don't see the typical Memphis downtown resident or Mississippi Honey Boo Boo relative doing the hard, physical labor in the hot sun 8 or more hours a day in any great numbers. No, one sees Hispanics, who may be Mexicans. Some are legal (I know them) and some are not (suspect a few I recognize).
The point is, there are jobs that Americans who have been here for generations won't do, rather, they would prefer to be on welfare. Why is that?

Again, utter nonsense! Doesn't matter anyway. Hiring illegal aliens is against the law or doesn't that matter to you? How do so many people in the south survive if they are too lazy to work? Hispanics/Mexicans in general are not superior workers to any other group and to state such a thing is racist. Americans all over the country work out in the hot sun all day and I'm not talking about picking crops as most illegals or Hispanic/Mexicans aren't doing those jobs anyway.
You know what you can do with your Honey Boo Boo cracks, don't you?
