Hardworking, no not most from personel experience they work like snails. its part of the feel sorry for myself stuff a way to get paid more for less work.also the quality of work is sub standard.
Few are true tradesman if they are they have a group they supervise to do the labor.

I can tell you years ago when I worked in a factories the latios got mad because I was working faster, was told to stop making them look bad,when in all I was trying to pass the time. I too went to night school after 8-12 hours of work. I still cut my own grass and have no need for cheap half ass workmanship.

First the Pro-Illegals cry racist when we mention Mexico, Central and S America. Now they are crying racist when we mention all Countries wherever they are.

Endless uses of the racist card, it never ceases to amaze me. It's morphed into 101 uses it has.

How is that racist? "Go Home Gringo" signs and posters in other countries might not be really friendly and welcoming but they are not racist.

Everything isn't about race and when people try to insist that their race (raza) gives them a special right to break the laws then they are the ones who brought race into the discussion.

Never mind that there is no Hispanic 'raza' in the genetic sense.

Why so many Mestizos use weasel words like Hispanic or Latino is beyond me--------------it is as if they are trying to partially deny their Indian heritage due to it not being 'PC' under Hispanic culture.

Yeah Hispanics want so badly to be seen as White by the Anglo community.

Many Latinos will try to play both sides of the 'race card': back in the Jim Crow days; even the 'brown' ones claimed 'White' for obvious reasons----------along with E Indians and in some cases so did Japanese and Chinese heritage people in the Old South.

Honestly, I had accepted that poor immigrants were excellent workers. Today, I now consider that a false juxtaposition. Look at the facts. ....Why, why, oh WHY do so many people compliment illegal immigrants with.. "They're hard working."?



---------------------------------------------------------
Fact 1:
Asian households on average earn $20,000 more yearly than Hispanic households.

Asian median household income-$55k
White median household income-$48k
Hispanic median household income-$35k


(2005; infoplease.com)


Fact 2:

Illegals make middle class Americans work harder. They increase tax expenditure leaving financial strain on middle America.

Based on the 2006 1st Quarter ICE report, $55,000 is the average lifetime cost per illegal.

12 million X's 55,000=$660,000,000,000.... umm, WOW.(not inflation adjusted)
660 TRILLION DOLLARS.


Still not convinced? ..Final question:

Who works harder?
1. The average illegal immigrant. Who stands in the home depot parking lot on for 3 hours on average chatting with his buddies. He is having a ball! He stands there all day and work comes to him! About 2 small jobs a day. (He does unskilled things like painting, and carpentry.) He makes approx. $12/hour.

OR...

2. The average full-time American college student. Who goes to classes from 9-4. Works on his/her class work from 4-7. then, goes to their night job at Starbucks from 7:30-11:30 to pay off his/her student loans..(She makes $9/hour)
That's right. Speaking of New Port Beach, at the Harbor Justice Court there illegal aliens not afraid to go into court after being charged with multiple traffic infractions and broken parts like headlights, forged drivers licenses and social security cards, alias names, lies galore and then everything is dismissed. They are not in the shadows.
