Why do illegals think they work harder than Americans?

Answer 1

Because they willingly take the jobs that spoilt Americans think they are too good to do, like scrubbing pots for 12 hours a day in kitchens, cleaning toilets, and picking grapes in fields all day long.

I post Help Wanted ads all the time for basic ranch work. It's dirty, hard, and def not glamourous, but it pays $8 an hour plus breakfast and lunch. I might get a white boy or two show up, but they never last the whole day... "I thought a day meant until noon!" "I had plans for this afternoon!". They are lazy, they show up late, their work is half assed, and one worked a day and wanted to be paid for the whole week! The Mexicans get here ON TIME and work their butts off. I don't bother checking for green cards. I need someone who will work and I don't care what color they are or where they come from.

Answer 2

OMG, folks, can we stop the illegal bashing, already? Its not about who works harder, them or us, its about people who are willing to come to work for wages 4-5 times what they would make in Mexico (if they could find work at all). They are always going to come here as long as there are employers and corporations in the U.S. that are happy to hire illegals without any risk of being punished. Most of the illegals will go home voluntarily when the employers are duly punished, fined and/or imprisoned for hiring illegals. And not a minute before....

Answer 3

They take up lousy jobs in the hospitality industry, which exploits them at a low wage. The maintenance of present-day laws on illegal immigration won't stop them from coming, because they leave out of a desire for a better life. They are really economic and political refugees. Many of them are victims of bad Mexican and American policy.

They will keep coming and keep working with the desire to learn English, send money home to their families, and bring their families over. If America can make a mess out of Mexico, it can also help the victims of its policies in its own borders by allowing them to stay.

Don't think the hospitality industry wants that. They do and they don't. You can't stop a flood that is already happening by putting up a dam. You can control it. They benefit from having illegals, and can fire them at any time. Not a lot of white upper-class kids from the suburbs want these jobs, which are essential services. The illegals can't go anywhere. Why do so many women, young people and immigrants end up in the hospitality industry? Economic, educational, cultural and linguistic barriers that are not addressed.

I hate the anti-immigrant mentality. Canada and America were built on the backs of immigrants. There is no 'white-man only' policy here. Think of the power you have over someone without an SSN, who doesn't live here, and can be sent back to lousy conditions or put in jail.

Answer 4

First most people who are in the US illegally are in fact Americans. But the answer to your question is that in large part they do work harder than people from the US. This is because they are working illegally and therefore work more hours and generally more physical work. They don't have those eight hour days with paid lunches and brakes. And they are often doing construction, heavy lifting, or harvesting which is all quite literally back-breaking work.

Answer 5

Saying it does not make it so. It is all propoganda and Bull S**t.
This is what the liberals want you to believe. They work hard, they just want a better life. They are also more likely to collect public assistance.

The people of Mexico have been told how the Norte Americanos have stolen their country's land and wealth. For all the years of their schooling their teachers repeat the stories of how Mexico has the right to reclaim its land. They have been told of how their brothers and sisters were winning the battle and that they soon would take back California, Arizona and New Mexico.

And that it was all being done one small step at a time. And the truth is….. they really are doing it.

First there is US citizenship for any Mexican child born in any American hospital of an illegal alien mother (and in Los Angeles County 66% of all births are to illegal alien mothers). The average Mexican woman averaged 6.8 children in 1970 and although this number is believed to have dropped since then it remains a bio-bomb of cataclysmic proportions. Honduran females today average 5.2 children, Guatemalans 5.1 children.

Demographers describe the average of 2.1 children per woman as the ideal "replacement level" - the point where births equal deaths. The birth rate for White females in the United States is about 1.3.

America's hospitals are incubators for the seeds of America's demise -- funded by the US taxpayer. Then there is free housing and free food. And then free medical care beyond anyone's wildest dreams. Million dollar heart transplants are free in America -- and yes, foreigners from Mexico are given priority over Americans. This sometimes means the death of Americans who have to wait as foreigners are put at the front of the line. Impossible? Incredible? It happens almost every day. There have been well publicized hearings on the matter but nothing is done.

The children born to illegal alien mothers are immediately eligible for Aid To Families With Dependent Children - AFDC. Illegal alien mothers can and do receive even $2,000 a month in benefits - it depends upon how many US citizen children she has spawned.

San Diego has tried to force these illegal alien mothers to perform some kind of work to get this money. The illegal's present Modus Operandi is to have the checks mailed to a US Post Office box at the border and have someone collect the checks for them. In Mexico she can live like a queen on $2,000 a month. How well could you live on $2,000 a month…. in Mexico?

The City of San Diego government has discovered that trying to make these illegals work for their $2,000 a month is a federal crime! It is a federal crime to hire an illegal alien - so making these illegal aliens work for their welfare money is thus - illegal.

Answer 6

My employer is always on the lookout for hard working individuals who are willing to learn. So far, there is only a single Hispanic man that has lasted longer than the time it takes to get a single check. The type of work I do is difficult and dangerous if not done properly, you can be killed. We work in all weather conditions, 345 days a year. It is a good paying job, yet there are very few if any minorities willing to work as hard as this job demands.
There are many other employment areas which minorities arent willing to explore because of the dangers and the working conditions. Very few janitors get killed doing their job, they want something basically easy and safe. A waiter or busboy may have a job, but there is no excitement to it.

Answer 7

I'm sure not all of them think that. And I know some Americans that say they work harder.

Answer 8

For the illegals to imply they work harder than Americans is not only a falsehood, but shows how racist they are. Americans aren't strutting around bragging about how much.. blah, blah. Whoever says Americans can't do certain jobs, is a puppet for the corporate World.

Answer 9

Cuz they do, Americans say that the illegals are taking all of our jobs but the truth is the illegals take all of the jobs we dont want to have (i.e. Trash Despolsal, Maid work) and they work for anything that they can send home.

Answer 10

A lot of them do work harder, & complain less then alot of our Americans, Most of them are doing jobs our welfare recepiants, refuse to do. Why are we so fast to blame aliens, for all thats wrong in our country, when, we have american citizens taking advantage of the system, by sitting on their butts & letting us working people take care of them & laughing at us about it? Fix that first, before complaining about the aliens.
