Interesting quote from "The Long Haul: A Trucker's Tales of Life on the Road"

Hi - I'm reading "The Long Haul: A Trucker's Tales of Life on the Road" by Finn Murphy and wanted to share this quote with you.

"The simple truth is, your latter-day Hispanic laborer, wallowing in the refuse-laden cesspit that constitutes the dregs of the American Dream is more dependable, works harder, and is more trustworthy than many native-born Anglos. The Hispanics actually want out of the cesspit and will work to get themselves out just like the Callahans did a generation or two ago. On the other hand, your typical head-banging, tatted-out, meth freak Anglo doesn't even know where he is. You've pretty much reached the muddy, filth-strewn, windblown end of the American cesspit when you can't find a white guy who can amass the rudimentary requirements needed to be hired as a local mover."
