Westpark just East of 59 (near Rampart). Dozens of them all day long at the gas station on the corner and stretching back east about half a block. I missed a turn once and made a u-turn right there - they almost swamped my truck trying to be the first guy to be hired.

Spread out all over the southeast side of town.

On the outskirts of the Galleria area is also a good place, along Westpark.

Any home depot in a questionable area or within walking distance of shabby apartments.

Maybe it's just me, but I would not hire illegals. I know those Home Depots etc. and that's what you'll find there. Help an american family and hire an American.

That sounds good in theory, but many times you close a deal with "an American," and the next day he goes to the home improvement store's parking lot for some of the workers.
