The Mexixans and central americans are not the only ones.

There are plenty of haitians, cubans, chinese, etc.... that perform manual labor.

I hire guys that sit around the home depot now and again and for 100.00, they will work their asses off.

Is there any particular reason why is seems like it's only hispanics?

I never see any blacks or whites sitting there waiting to get picked up.

Can anyone point to a specific reason why it is mostly central american or mexican or are they they flavor of the moment.

Seems to me that this country was built on immigrant labor. Were all those Italian and Irish laborers legal? or were they just the "right" color and no one complained as much?

My parents were cuban and I live in Miami and I can tell you that there are a great many that get here, legally or not, and will not THINK of doing what these other people are willing to do.

I'm making observations, not accusations.
