Actually this is a myth or at the very least its a matter of perspective.
Typically the average illegal worker works in large groups with 1 guy who knows a few words of English who negotiates the price.
They do work hard. Taking very few breaks aside from lunch.
They also work longer hours generally.
What they also typically do is provide poor quality work.
I've seen them use the wrong nails, not use enough, or use too many.
I can't say I have ever once in my life looked at one of their paint jobs and had it meet my expectations of quality.
Not in the coverage, the lines, or the neatness.
They basically do exactly what they are told without thinking for themselves or truly caring for the job they are doing.
And hey, I am not blaming them at all.
If thats all i got paid i would not even show up to begin with.
But its also important that the myth of superior workers is debunked.
Even aside from the quality, they are not working fast, there are simply 3 times more of them on the job working longer hours for less money.
And that money is not much of an issue when 10 families rent 1 apartment and take turns using it while the rest sleep at state parks and in vans.

We are not only driving millions of Americans into sub poverty so that the rest of Americans can have services and goods cheaper, but we are also accepting lesser quality goods and services.
Every time a person says something along the lines of "Americans don't want the job" it always leads to one thing. Greed.
There is no job in existence in this country that an American would not want for the right pay.
Its almost as though the greedy elite class in this country has found a new toy.
First it was servants, then slaves, then under paid workers. Now that things started to balance out pretty well, they are switching to Mexicans and leaving the American work force in the cold.
This is not about global competition. The products and services that we use the Mexicans for are mostly things we consume right here in America.
Consider that one for a moment.
If its mostly things we consume here in America, why do we need to under cut our work force for "Global Competition"?
There is nothing global about that.
