A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United
States.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,
"Thank you Mr. American for letting me come into this country, giving
me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for
having such a beautiful country here in America."
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he
stops,shakes his hand, and says,"Thank you for wonderful America!
That person puts up his hand and says,
"I am from Middle East.I am not American."
He finally sees a nice lady and asks,"Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa."
Puzzled, he asks her,"Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says,*
"Probably at work."

You obviously don't know too many Mexicans. Here in south Florida
they are some of the hardest working people you'd ever want to meet.

Absolutely. I will hire a latino in a heartbeat and pay them more than
they ask for. It is still a bargain. I do get accused of having "union
mexicans" tho by the other builders. It is worth it because they will
get over here as soon as I call and get whatever I have to do, done.

Agree. 99% of the day labor you see at Home Depot, etc. is Latino.

The only Mexicans we see at home depot are there buying materials for
a job they are working on.

The line should have read, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican on the way to my second job."

But, after all, it was a joke.

I had a Mexican over yesterday to do some yard work. His helper failed to show. So he and I spread about 12 cubic yards of mulch. He busted my ass, but gave me $100 for helping, which meant I owed him only $250. Did a great job. Will definitely have Carlos back again.

We see those also. But our city allows the day labor to congregate there.
And no riots have ensued.

Thats enough to do a bed 2 foot wide 3 inches deep and 648 feet
long. Wow

I'll have to take some pictures. We have a lot of area under mulch.

12 cubic yards? You are full of ****. A full sized pickup truck bed
might hold two cubic yards of mulch if you can tie a tarp over it. That
would be six full pickup loads. If you buy the mulch in the typical two
cubic foot bags Home Depot sells, 12 cubic yards would amount to about
165-170 bags. I buy the equivalent of 100 bags a year to recover our
planting beds. Unless you are covering your entire lot, leaving no room
for grass, you aren't spreading 12 cubic yards or anything close to it.
