These "jobs that Americans won't do" used to be starting out at $10/hr in the 70's. Now they are starting at $5-6/hr, with no advancement.

Face it, someone is making a lot of money in the meat packing industry, and it isn't the farmers or workers. If a company makes a practice of hiring illegal immigrants, shut down the plants.

According to The inflation calculator:

"What cost $10 in 1973 would cost $42.03 in 2003. Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2003 and 1973, they would cost you $10 and $2.38 respectively."
