They are definitely hard working, but how can they be extremely experienced?
They are coming from a country where the walls are made from concrete and sometimes dirt. They have no clue on how their jobs are untill they actually do the job. Many of my friends familes sponsored people from their country (Lebanon) to work and none had a clue on how things worked, but are still working 6 days a week 12 hour days. They are obviously more experienced now than they were 3-4 years ago when they came, but I wouldn't say they are extremely experienced as they had no experience before coming here.
They are definitely the most hard working honest people you will meet though.
