I am thinking of going to the place where they congregate in the mornings and getting a truckload of Mexicans to help with my yard work, how much do you pay them, are they worth it?

Pay $1.50 and hour then after the job is done and they're ready to be paid I call Deportation. Works everytime saves money and I deport some Mexicans worth the phone call.

Your question smacks of racism.
Unless you have several acres of yard you will probably only need 2 Mexicans. I got to HomeDepot to hire them. There will be a group waiting. Drive up and get out of your car. Say what you need done and how much you can pay. Like, " I need digging and some stone work for 8 hours. I will pay $100 per guy for 2 guys." Whoever is willing will step forward and you can pick the two you want.
Some personal notes: When the guys get in the car to go to the job....ask if they had breakfast. A tip through Jack in the Box is a good start to the day. Most of the guys do not eat regularly. Plan to serve some filling lunch. I serve a homemade sub sandwich and some fried chicken. Cheap but filling.
At the end of the day, take them back to the corner where you got them and do pay them in cash.
Respect will go a long way to getting a good days work and if you stiff them once you will pay so do not even try it.
I use "casual labor" a couple times a month and I have never had a problem, even though I am a single woman. As I said before, respect goes a long way.
PS scubadiver50704- You suck! $7.00 per hour??? I pray you get fired and have to live on welfair!

I used some Bosnian boys last time I did something similar. I said 'hey kid, want to make some money'? And we went from there. I paid one high school aged boy $7.00 / hour and he worked for me for about three weeks. Mostly on week ends, but also after school a couple of days a week for three or four hours. He and a friend did what ever I asked of them, dug up tree stumps, spot painted siding on the house, raked, cleaned up wood piles, moved old concrete slabs around, etc. etc. And they were worth every dime I paid them. Had an excellant work ethic about them.

Latinos are very hard workers, but you also have to remember if there here legally or not. In some cities of the United States now if you hire one that is illegal you can be fined. But I would pay them cause I don't know anyone that would work for free or cheap.
