>>Teenagers have never done the hard dirty manual labor that adult immigrant males and blacks have done.<<

I read your staement to my daughter. Her reply, "Oh horse puckey! Is that guy stupid or just a bad liar? Tell him to follow a teenager around who lives on a ranch for a day...and bring his boots if he doesn't want manure inside his shoes."

Is pulling calves, stacking hay, shoveling trenches, welding, pounding in fence posts, wiring fences, scrubbing water bins, unloading 100 feeds 50 lb. bags from a truck or painting from the top of a ladder considered light work in your eyes?

It's not in her eyes. You need to put on some boots and go see what these kids do.

So is your daughter going to work on your ranch the rest of her life or would you like to see her get a good white collar job?

You know of course that you can't have white collar jobs without blue collar laborers don't you.

What do you tell a young person who studies hard in school to get an MBA only to find that all the companies in America have closed or moved over seas because the anti-immigrant crowd made operating in the US impractical?

If your daughter does eventually move away who are you going to get to replace her doing the dirty work on your ranch? American industry can't be based on owners' children doing all the work.

Good for your daughter, that's the kind of kids around here. Not to mention all those "worthless, lazy kids" who are in Iraq, Afghanistan and who knows what other hell hole defending the rights of people to spew their propaganda.
