Man, with the beer I just opened, beans and tortillas sound good right about now.
I would.
I'd also work construction. I've always wanted to. I figure it'd teach me a skill I could truly use for myself.
But who's gonna hire a woman - even a straplin' broad like me - to schlep wheelbarrows full of concrete?
(I trust no FReepers doubt I can schlep a wheelbarrow full of concrete.)
Its called technology. Any other topic dealing with economics and the ol' buggy whip phrase would be used in a nanosecond by you liberals, but when it comes to illegal immigration you revert to the feudal mentality.
If automation replaces all the jobs that illegals are now doing how does that help you get a job?
I have. It's hard, dirty, dangerous, hot work that's not anything like engaging in a home repair project. And it's day after day after miserable day with bosses bitching at you for not working faster, for making mistakes and wasting materials. It's putting up with doped up, drunk, sociopathic co-workers whose "mistakes" could cost you an eye or hand.
It's putting up with idiots who are too lazy to tag a breaker they switch off or even worse, ones who ignore the tag and switch the electricity on while you're installing the clothes dryer outlet.
Get a job in a mall.
