I haven't met a mexican construction crew yet that did as good a job as a professional construction worker in the field of framing, drywall or concrete. Any crew is fast with 8 guys getting paid $5 an hour but you suffer somewhere.

At least in my area, that couldn't be further from the truth. "Professional" construction workers as you call them will get hired over illegals every time. The problem is, there aren't enough quality professionals out there.
I also disagree with the notion that immigrant = sloppy work. A lot of these guys do better work than their American counterparts.
