We've got sites like that in Austin. But it's not just Mexicans, there
are white people there looking for that sort of work as well.
Most of the Mexican-Mexicans (as opposed to people of Mexican descent who
were born here) I see working are hired by builders or yard care companies
and have somewhat more regular work than that. Do you see many Mexicans
with more regular employment than just pick-up work?
