There is a place the legal and illegals hang out every morning looking for work and I havent heard of them going to work on a construction labor job. Most of the guys that need tempt help on construction don't even go there anymore because they just won't do that work.

Now if you mean work harder on a specific job I would say, I don't know because most I have seen on landscaping work right along with Americans at about the same pace.

The only difference I can see is that they are willing to work for a longer period of the day like 10-12 hours but remember that they can burn themselves out because they are only around here for about 6 months then the head back home to where ever and rest until the next season.
The question of the title is immigrants, why do I get the impression you're automatically speaking about illegal aliens?
