As opposed to dumb legal workers like the thieves who just left the
Oval Office? *The ones who forced us to need illegal's because nobody
will do those jobs? *Oh yeah, them.


I'd like to kick GWB in the nuts just as much as you would, but he and his
sitters are not responsible for the unwillingness of Americans to do certain
types of work. I challenge anyone to find 100 typical teenagers who'd agree
to bust their asses harvesting broccoli for 8 hours at a time, even for the
legal minimum wage. Or, clean hotel bathrooms, wash pots & pans in a hot,
crowded restaurant kitchen, etc.


Statistically and logically invalid response: "I did that kind of work and
it didn't kill me." *That's one. I want 100.


There are people willing to do those jobs for those low wages because
it is a hell of a lot better than lying down on the cold, hard earth
and starving to death. I pretty sure that most of us here are lucky
enough to have other options. Anyone willing to work should be allowed
to go wherever there is work for them.


People might argue that we are losing jobs in this country by the
hundreds of thousands, but these are likely the same people who are
too lazy to pick their own vegetables, wash their own dishes, and
scrub their own toilets.


On the other hand, people who look like you don't give a rat's ass about
this country and will send the dirty work to cheaper suppliers or bring
in greencard slaves who have to work for less because they can't shop
their skills around. Ideas that have been created at national expense in
our universities find home in exploiting foreign labor. Why are we all
rushing to the bottom of the barrel, instead of insisting on workers
rights that exist in Europe? European workers are being told that they
must compete with over worked Americans. Why don't we insist on being
given the benefits that European workers have (five weeks paid vacation,
health care, maternity leave with pay, a day to clean the grave of a
loved ones). Until a few years back, every forth year, Germans were
given a week to recuperate from their excesses at a spa. Hello,
Protestant America, denial of the flesh doesn't lead to salvation. Quite
the opposite.

And stop using this white racists subject line, it defiles us all.
