I can't call them lazy for it takes effort to make that move and take the risks. Starting over within a new country isn't easy if one doesn't have the right connections and has to start from scratch. It would be dumb to state immigrants are lazy just as all anti-immigrant folks are a bunch of uneducated rednecks.
Besides, migrant labor is a not-so-big secret: Very low-paying jobs full of tedious tasks such as cleaning hotel rooms, landscaping, or picking fields will be filled by those who don't have higher skills or credentials for better work. And did I mention that it's cheap labor?
It's one thing for over-exaggerating anti-immigrant folks to state that "They" are taking ALL the jobs. It's another thing to see what those jobs in question actually are.
If only a person would just ask, "So tell me about yourself." and learn about the individuals who choose to leave a country to work, maybe even possibly live, within another one. But that would kill a few stereotypes right there, eh?
