Did you not know they are millions of Americans just dying to pick fruit and bus tables in this country, all which would be happy to do it for minimum wage.....
Where? I know one horse farmer who tried to get someone to help out on his farm for $3.00 over the minimum wage and could not find a worker. There is a building contractor who needed roofers, where did he find them? Not at the employment office or in the paper, no one applied and he paid over the minimum wage and had benefits just for helpers. When he did get someone, they did not know how to read a tape measure let alone do simple math.
Correct. There are millions of recently arrived LEGAL immigrants, all of whom have obtained their green card visa and are on their way to becoming a LEGAL, PRODUCTIVE American citizen as soon as they fulfill their 'probation' period and then take the oath of citizenship.
But to simply reward those who've broken the Prime Directive by jumping the border (in front of law abiding people) is INSANITY in the first degree.
Heck, I want to further MY family's financial well-being so maybe I can jump the Social Security or welfare system and begin taking globs of money while I continue working at my job.
Hey, what the heck. I'm just trying to put food on the table for my family, dontcha know.
