You should introduce yourself to these Mexicans...I'll bet they all work
hard, and have good, strong family values, and those attributes would be
an eye-opener for someone like you, who has spent his career hiding out
in the military and not teaching in the public schools.

Welfare checks...what an asshole you are, Herring. No ethnic group in
the United States works harder and at crappier jobs than Hispanics.

I have to side with Harry on this one. The Mexicans (and other hispanic
workers) here in Southwest Florida (and there's a lot of 'em) are some of
the hardest-working and most-reliable people you can do business with. They
also work in a variety of outdoor jobs that would send most gringos to the
hospital with heat exhaustion. Fortunately, most of them are employed by
bosses who are also Mexican, but had the smarts to go out on their own and
work for themselves. I have as patients a wife and husband who both passed
the General Contracting exam last month...and are now licensed contractors.
They were in the drywall business before, but are now getting into new-home
contruction. I guarantee that if you built a house with them, it would be
on time and within budget...which is more than I can say for even the
most-reputable non-hispanic GC's down here.
