Why do illegals use the excuse that they are the hard working backbone of this nation?

they will claim that they work extremly hard. Call me crazy ..but I see no differnece in work ethic between illegals and legals. The illegal latinos are especially full of crap when they say they work harder. They have a pretty delusional view and like to stroke thier big egos. i'm sick of hearing that they are fantastic workers...many of them are deadbeats...I've lived with illegals all my life. I am citizen of this country...I know being poor and illegal is hard, but don't talk abouit something you don't know to make yourself feel better about your situation
