January 12, 200421 yr DUnno...when I lived in AZ, and worked construction, I used to drive through the wetback part of town in the morning, stop on a corner where a bunch were hanging out, hold up the number of fingers for the number of guys I needed, and shout "cinco" (meaning I was paying $5 an hour), and a bunch of them would pile in the back of my truck...they worked a hell of a lot harder than any or the union laborers we ever had, and never whined about on the job accidents, or sore backs, or anything like that. If you needed a 6' wide ditch dug to lay 400 feet of 6" pipe 4' under the ground in the desert, a half dozen wetbacks could dig it in less than half the time that a dozen first year apprentices (laborers) could do it in...and they charged $3 an hour less apiece than laborers did, AND you didn't have to figure taxes, SSI, and benefits. Hopefully, now that they're being legitamized, they'll still be as cheap, work as hard, and you'll only have to figure basic taxes...lol
January 12, 200421 yr thats how it is here in texas... they hang out on a street corner by a gas station at 7:00AM. Day workers are really big here for road construction and commercial construction too, and they are all wetbacks with zero engrish

I remember as a kid back in 1972, my grandfather would hire 5 to 8 illegal mexicans to dig fence post holes and lay sidewalks. He payed them 25 cents per (3 feet deep X 1 foot diameter) hole. The ground on the outskirts of San Antonio is made up of mostly limestone (hard to dig out). Then after the day was done my grandmother would cook up their favorite food, corn on the cob, Spam in a can and blackeyed peas. I ate along side with these guys at the picnic table and didn't know better that the food was theirs. That's all they had. They were good folk as I recall. Extremely hard working folk.
