I worked with quite a few of them when I was in the Army, and all but a couple, I got along fine with. Most of them were good workers, and although there was a heavy accent, they spoke and understood English pretty well.
Now, 34 years later, and back home in Pennsyltucky, I find a guy who can’t speak it!
This phuqer is lazy, and when you call him on stuff like taking 25 minutes on a 15 minute break, or 45 minutes on a 30 minute lunch, he can’t speak the language!
When I told him “Phuq you”, he got that!
Most of them are like a Queball, if you wanna get English you gotta hit ‘em right!
This guy used the language barrier as a dodge to escape responsibility, and it really whizzes me off when I gotta carry his lazy ass.
Geez, it really pisses me off, and I have spoken to my supervisors a couple times.
If they stick me with this azzhole again, I might come unglued!

It's all foreigners. I was at Tractor Supply last week, overheard a Hmong dope grower ask the lady, I need some 4 way 1/2 PVC tees. 15 min later I'm in the parking lot, a sheriff deputy is asking him why he hasn't been to DMV and has got expired Minnesota plates. He just shrugs, No Ennich, no Ennich.
If that's not enough, the latest scam is the Hmong putting Vietnam campaign service ribbon bumper stickers on their rigs. Most of them appear to be in their 30s-40s and were born here. No way the timeline works out. I kinda doubt the US handed out campaign ribbons to foreign nationals anyway. Only war these little f...cks seen was dodging DEA. Always knew Georgia would do a payback on Sherman's march to the sea...but Jesus guys...give us Jimmy Carter...that's harsh.

I fell in with some Mexican people a few years back that I cant say enough good things about.
Changed my life in fact. Sorry you found a clunker.

Most are great people. Others, not so much. They are getting lazier and lazier. Just like whites, blacks and everyone in between.
Try running a farm with a couple dozen of them out there! Talk about going gray prematurely.......

Ran across a little bit of it 40+ years ago working down closer to the border. Sometimes they'd not understand English well..................until their paycheck came up short 1/2 of OT.

One tactic to use against ones like that is to learn some Spanish, especially words related to your work. Then there's no excuse for them not understanding.

Hey Pancho and Margerita.

No trabajan alla...................trabajan aqui pendejos!

Thanks God there’s no lazy pos white people.
(((Eye roll)))

I was a little leery at first but my buddy who owns a flooring company told me they were top notch (Legal) hard workers. Two Mexicans installed LVP along with new baseboards and molding. Took them two days, they worked nonstop morning to evening without even stopping for lunch. I am very impressed with their work and I am not the easiest to please when it come to having work done. I want it done right the first time.

You can tell how Great they are by how far advanced their homeland's infrastructure is, relative to the White Man's.

Their space program, for example, is testament to their hard work.

I’m certainly not testifying to them as a nation just to a couple of hard workers who came highly recommended. I don’t judge people by their nationality but on an individual basis.

Got 1600sft to install this weekend, new construction, the builder's guys will do the base.

Their nation is full of them...

It ain't the Mexicans so much as it's become the American worker's mindset. Push the limit of laziness to the extreme limits to see if you can get away with doing less for more!

You want some really lazy SOB's, try hiring or working with blacks. They have the feet dragging down to a science and know that they can generally get away with it!

But then again, most 25 yr olds and younger are lazy SOB's no matter what their race is nowadays!

Hard workers as a rule, blacks are lazy, 99 percent worthless MFers. I never saw a black plumber worth a damn in 51 years at the trade. I did see one good pipefitter.

I’ve been around mostly Tejanos, Texas Mexicans and Mexican Mexicans for more’n thirty years. As a group they know how to party and they’re family oriented, though the college-educated young folk are getting as woke as anyone.

Other than that they come in all stripes, good and bad

Oh c'mon now Birdy

that's like saying all Dagos aren't carrying a switchblade and wearing pointy shoes.

I knew a few that were painters that were hard workers and did a hell of a job. Had a few on carpenter crews that were worthless. One duct guy that was top notch.
In 30 years, they are definitely the most under represented group participating in the trades.

Two of my best buds are a German and a Mexican.

I like Mexicans.

For the most part.

Be careful stereotyping them though or you might get stabbed!

The future of our country will depend on Mexicans. Republicans are stupid. We need a. Message for them, Hard work,family,small business, no woke [bleep], no sodomite supremecy, and god. That will win the Mexicans.

This thread is about 40 years past its expiration date.

If you wanted things to be different, you should have been bitching to Reagan. No point now. Fuucking feds won't even pretend there's a southern border anymore.

Lol, local farmer here got sick of the pretend language barrier so every once in a while he'd decide on a worker and mess up on his check.

When the worker came to him to straighten it out they would end up speaking and understanding the English language pretty damn good, lol, he'd tell them that now that he knew they could speak good English he wanted no more pretending to not understand.

Word got around pretty quickly and things changed because no one wanted their check screwed with.

Messycans don't like thir check messed up!!!!

Most of them I have worked around are good people if treated respectfully.
I am sure there are all types of people in every skin color.
The Mexicans I have been around expect to work like I did 40 years ago.

My guess Is the hard working reputation they have will disappear, and they will mirror white folks.

Until recently, it was hard to come here and MEN came to EARN money for a better life for their family. Families might follow as possible.

Those were the more ambitious and energetic from the culture.



The "Get by by Getting by" types stayed home.
We were essentially High Grading their culture.

Now it's easy as heck to get here, easy to stay here, the government
financially incentivises them to come.

We have become attractive to the lazy.

Their government is the model of corruption that the political elites in this country based our future on.

Much like here in the US, their government reflects less and less the character or the will of its people.

When "they" finally gain total control, our cartels will make the Mexican cartels look like pikers, and thats saying a lot.

Pay attention to how many fighting age men are crossing various borders around the world.

Fugkers can roof in 100F weather and can hang drywall lickety split.


Otherwise I have use for them. At least they work hard, unlike nigroes.
It don't matter anymore, the US gonna be brown. Thanks Jews.

and make liquor from mind altering cactus that I'm positive isnt as strong as it once was.

Lazy? Some are but most are hard working.

If you want to see lazy, look no further than our own indigenous tee pee dwellers. One check and gone.

I live in a small town. A family of Hispanics moved here and started a flooring business. Hard workers, proud and precise and very nice. They did work for me and family and friends. Been a few years and now have a thriving business. Every year they put on a big Mexican feed free for the community. Good people fun to joke with (I murder spanish).

Around here, they come to work in tobacco. Hard work, long hours. The ones that do well in tobacco have no trouble getting pulled into other jobs that are more permanent, long duration. The few lazy ones eventually drift off to somewhere else. One of my best friends came 35 years ago to work tobacco. Now, he and his wife could work 7 days a week if they wanted. Everyone wants them on their crew. He works primarily with a third generation barn builder. A couple other farmers have "standing work" to keep his spare time filled when he is not building barns... When they purchased their home, they took out a 30 year loan and then payed it off in 7 years. All three of their grown children are productive members of society as well...

Care to refine that a little, there, cowboy?

Yes, Dutch, I threw too wide a loop there. Personal and 2nd hand experience though with Asian (Hmong, Chinese, Laotian, Vietnamese) and Russian blackmarket dope growers here in my county have taught cops and locals that English is used when needed, but is not understood when in a confrontation. The rural county budget cannot afford a certified interpreter every time there is a LEO interaction or court case. So...they let them walk on the most egregious violations, everything from license and registration infractions up through and including murder.
Be that as it may...I have one piece of advice for voters in other states...when marijuana legalizations come on the ballot, vote no. It's a goddam trainwreck, violent crime goes up dramatically, the price of dope goes up and 'control of substances' goes out the window, and I can tell you from personal experience, the little farms these people bought? Are turned into a toxic dump, fertilizers, chemicals, plastics, human waste, water aquifer contamination....beyond 3rd world.

Just like the rest of us, there’s a lot of good ones and a lot of bad ones. Better get used to them, as this country now belongs to them. No way around it. They already predominate many areas of the country. Quite a few years ago I went with a buddy to a heavy equipment sale in the Houston area. A vendor was set telling grub that morning. We asked for a couple country ham biscuits and were told that everything was served on a tortilla. Damn, what’s up with that???? We knew what was coming at that point.

We should do what Australia does and require immigrants to be proficient in English. We were there for two weeks and took Ubers everywhere. Every single Uber driver was an immigrant and every single one spoke good English.

Landed back home and got an Uber from the airport, dude didn't speak a word of English.


Sad thing is, it'll never happen.

The only reason we did not hire David Peters Construction was, he went back to Texas.

Almost every one I know have solid family values, don’t want their kids recruited by LGBT groups, are hard working, have solid Christian values. That just doesn’t scream liberal in my book. The feckless Republicans need to get an outreach program rolling. THAT right there will stop illegal immigration when over 50% of them are Republican. It’s already at 40%.

Not the swill in our liquor stores, true. Hit that little tequilla making place outside Peurto Villarta and your lips will go numb after a couple small samples. I've never liked tequila, but man, that stuff was smooth! As a non-drinker, I took just the tinest of sips for taste. After 5 my lips were tingling.

Made the old fashion way!
