I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING THAT MEXICANS WILL DO THE WORK NO ONE ELSE WILL.

I agree...although I think that unions went a long way towards making American workers think that certain jobs were "beneath them", thus contributing to a slothful attitude...

[ETERNAL WARMING]

That makes two of us, Exton1. Less than 2% of them are picking that lettuce, and that job can be done with harvesters. The rest are taking jobs away from Americans.

[b4its2late]

You ain't hearing it from me......

[Mark]

98% here agree. I wonder how DU would respond to this?

[lainde]

Kudos...Couldn't have put it more clearly. Excellent summary. I like how you have highlighted how unethical and un-American it is to have an economic master-slave system. Hope you send it to some editorial pages!!

Well, I tend to agree with you, since I know my fat ass is sitting here on FR tonight instead of cleaning up my kitchen.......

There are a lot of democrats living off social programs that could do those jobs. There's no reason why they can't. Take the democrats off the public dole, and they'll do it if they want to eat. There's no reason why they can't work.

[Delphinium]

There is not one job illegals do that I have not done myself,

Have you ever planted 1000 trees on extremely steep hillsides all day long?

I know a few white men, and US born hispanics who tried and quit before noon.

I HIRE JUANITA TE HOUSMAIED TO DO THE POSTS THAT I NO WANT TO DO.

LIKE THIS ONE.

As a teenager 40 some odd years ago I did all those jobs "they" say Americans won't do. I picked beans, apples, cherries, tomatoes and peaches. I mowed lawns, pulled weeds, plowed fields, fed cows, pigs and horses, cleaned silos, flipped burgers, cleaned floors and toilets.

Many Americans would do those jobs today if the illegals weren't doing them for less. Sadly, there are also many spoiled rotten Americans that won't dirty their manicured hands no matter how much the pay.

You too???? hey :-)

Bump.

[spectre]

In the Little Rock area, illegals are doing a high percentage of bricklaying, concrete and foundation work on new construction.

Not so long ago these used to be good, relatively high paid construction jobs.

Now, you see teams of non English speaking workers taking over.

This is just flat out not right.

[Clemenza]

Coming from New York, I see the Project People and I see the Mexicans. 9 times out of 10, I'd hire the latter rather than the former.

[Labyrinthos]

There are a lot of democrats living off social programs that could do those jobs. There's no reason why they can't. Take the democrats off the public dole, and they'll do it if they want to eat. There's no reason why they can't work.

But why would you want to hire them? They'll show up and hour late with no skills, bitch about the low pay, bitch about the working conditions, bitch about how they want a real job even though they don't have the most basic skills for the job they're bitching about, bitch about the lunch break, leave an hour early, and then try to unionize the employer.

[zarf]

Nonsense. Every construction crew in town is almost all Mexican or South American. They arrive at 7 am and don't leave till sundown. They are here with their wives and kids and work their hynies off.

And that's JUST the construction industry.
