This racist notion that Mexicans can only do the most menial work is pure bunk.
When did stating facts become an act of racism? I suggest that you look at these links:
New Jobs Will Not Require Advanced Education. Nearly 43 percent of all job openings by 2010 will require only a minimal education, at a time when native-born Americans are obtaining college degrees in record numbers and are unlikely to accept positions requiring minimal education.

"An estimated three million undocumented Mexicans already live and work in the U.S. Contrary to what critics say about 'stealing' American jobs, the truth is that they fill mostly menial slots that Americans would sooner spurn. They are field hands, nannies, landscapers, custodians, bus boys, dishwashers, chambermaids and construction workers.

Did you notice all those high tech jobs listed in the reference above?
And finally:
Demand for low-skilled labor continues to grow in the United States while the domestic supply of suitable workers inexorably declines - yet U.S. immigration law contains virtually no legal channel through which low-skilled immigrant workers can enter the country to fill that gap. The result is an illegal flow of workers characterized by more permanent and less circular migration, smuggling, document fraud, deaths at the border, artificially depressed wages, and threats to civil liberties.
