In fact, why do they love roofing so much?

Because they're third worlders. You won't find an A+ programmer or surgeon or rocket scientist coming from a ghetto, or coming from ghetto parents, usually, and that's what the majority of Mexicans in the US are basically.

Less vertigo. 

Plus, they can fit under units way easier.

It makes them feel tall for a change.

Depends on the Mexican, the first generation immigrants are typically less ghetto than the ones who have had families living in the U.S. since (around) the 60s or whatever, i.e. chicanos. Americanism seems to bring out the worst in every race for some reason

Two reasons that I can think of.



First, residential finish work like painting, drywall, roofing, siding, landscaping, etc. are fairly easy things to learn and getting a job doing it doesn't typically require any kind of formal education. And sometimes it doesn't even require legal documentation depending on the employer.



Second, they are things that can be completed faster just by throwing more laborers at the job. Meaning that the more cheap labor you hire, the more jobs you can complete in a given amount of time, so you make more money. More technical trades, like plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc. there is diminishing returns on manpower since you'd often end up with people getting in each other's way if you have too many workers doing those jobs.
