Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told attendees at an event on Hispanic-American entrepreneurship on Tuesday that if it were not for legal and illegal immigration into the United States “we would not eat.”

Jewell said that the country is still trying to address the rights of farm workers, including the role immigration plays.

“I’d say the challenges of immigration reform are a good example,” she said. “If we did not have immigration to this country we would not eat. Whether it’s documented or undocumented, we would not eat,” Jewell said at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. …

All “able-bodied” Americans on “welfare” should be put to work...Either cleaning road ways or working on farms or just doing anything except sitting on their butts doing drugs and watching TV all day...

[papertyger]

These people are sucking the life out of the country...and we sit back and let them...especially the GOPe controlled Congress.

Are we allowed to despise the Republican Party apparatchiks yet?

My local grocery stores have produce from many countries:

Roma tomatoes - Mexico
Avocados - Mexico, Dominican Republic
Pears - Chile, Argentina
Cantaloupes - Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala

It does not all come from western and southern state harvests done by [illegal] immigrant labor.

Canada only has 544,000 Latin American Canadians and only 96,000 Mexican Canadians

Why do these Obama appointees look like they might know a black magic spell or two . . . ?

I still say that Obama, Reid, and Pelosi remind me of the devil cult in Rosemary's Baby:

Why do all these people have that 4rd grade teacher look? It’s like when they speak, they sound like they’re addressing a class of 9 year olds.

Is she stupid? Our history has had controlled immigration. Out of control immigration will over crowd our cities and over whelm the availability of jobs. By the way, we already have a wall on our border. It is the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Instead of dying from falling off the top, you die from drowning in the ocean.

AND those wages would remain in America pumping up the US economy instead of being wired back home to Mexico to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars wired out of the country.

Actually, at 120 heads per hour it is about $08 for lettuce.

I think it could be picked faster than that, but you know the yahoos that do this work. a lot of fat ladies and kids.

[gubamyster]

94 million people out of the labor force. Maybe 1 or 2 of them could pick some lettuce?
