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.


I washed pots at the Frog and the Peach restaruant on Long
Island and ran up and down to the walk in box for the chef's
requests for sometimes 10 hours a day, more on the weekend.


And **** all americans are prepared to do that sort of
work, particularly when they can get welfare instead.

We barely grow hand picked vegetables in America any more,


That is a pig ignorant lie.

we have factory farms for the most part with automated pickers.


That is a pig ignorant lie with vegetables.

Crops we get which are harvested by migrant workers are in Mexico, Chile, etc.


That is a pig ignorant lie.

American's are lazy, fat, and sloven.


What I said in different words.

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


I just said I did it. Everyone who worked in that kitchen was American.


Were they recent immigrants tho ?

We managed to harvest the crops during WW2 with over 2,000,000 in uniform.


Even someone as stupid as you should have
noticed that WW2 ended quite some time ago now.


I wasn't even a sperm cell during that time and I failed history
miserably. I live in the now. I will reference the past for
comparison, but "in uniform" tells me forced labor.


Those harvesting the crops during WW2 werent in uniform.

He's talking about the 2M in the military etc. The crops
were harvested even with all those 2M in uniform.

Get rid of the illegals and the crops will be picked.


News flash, the illegals in Texas build almost 90 percent of homes,
roofs, pools, roads, fences, masonry, iron work, plasterers, painters,
window installation, warranty work, delivery, pick-up, and just about
any job involving a wood frame including the frame is done by illegal
and legal immigrants. And they do it for slave wages in the heat, day
after day and never complain. NEVER complain.


We don't grow crops here the way you think we do.


Still do, using non americans to harvest them.

We grow a LOT of corn. Corn is in everything.


America grows a hell of a lot more than just corn.

Like hell they will. They'll rot and the food will be imported from mexico instead.


It's already imported from central and south America.


Most vegetables aint.
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications...Oct/VGS329.pdf

Peru, Chile...bananas...etc.


Farmers will pay more for labor


What are you quoting from?


Like hell they will. Because what is imported from mexico will be much cheaper.


Oh yeah, circle back around now.


No circling there.

Americana is fat, ungrateful, lazy and they want it cheap


What I said in different words.

and not be taxed. Well, that garbage picked up, roads, on and on
are paid by taxes. If you really want to bitch, find out how much
the football coach makes at any Texas highschool and tell me why.


Irrelevant to what is being discussed.

but the overall societal benefit will be tremendous.


Mindlessly silly. Even someone as stupid as you
wouldnt benefit from slaving in some field, ******.


Mindless? That's an interesting thing to call someone who is a full time volunteer.


It that claim thats mindeless, stupid.

It wouldnt even kill off ******s like you. No one would be stupid enough to pay you a cent.


They don't have to, I am wealthy and I do volunteer work.

That comment wasnt about you.
