Because most do not belong to a union, these workers come to the job with unpredictable levels of skill. They are usually paid by the day - as little as $70 to $150 for eight hours of hard labor - and frequently lack safety gear, a Daily News investigation has found.

OH! The humanity! These fucking wetbacks have no right to complain when they're paid that well. I used to work in construction in similar conditions and got paid 40-50$ a day. I didn't have any safety crap, they didn't give me any. Forget the fact that these filthy spics shouldn't be in our nation to begin with, they're fucking illegal and they want to be treated better than fucking fully legal citizens whose ancestry has been here since practically fucking Columbus?

Last year, 31 construction workers were killed, and five workers have died this year.

Boo-fucking-hoo! Do they really think they would have better working conditions in Mexico? Our people built the Panama Canal and that cost tens of thousands of lives and they're complaining we're being mean to them?
