Too many sons of blue collar working families won't do the jobs that their fathers did with honor and pride. It's either too hot or too cold or too dirty or too boring or they're expected to show up for work every day. They're into immediate gratification - a fault of our society."

And do you think that this generation of Mexican immigrants is going to want their own children to pick fruit?

No. They will educate them in our schools, and a new wave of Mexican immigrants will enter our country to take their place in the fields and orchards. The cycle will never end.

Look, I am not in favor of any more coming in legally or illegaly. We have enough. I was responding to "the work that Americans won't do". That is a reality. It's too common that a young man with only a high school education refuses an entry level job @ $10.00 w/insurance benefits and an opportunity to learn a skill. It's not the pay rate that stops them despite what some are saying here - it's a lack of work ethic. This is also part of the "cycle" you refer to. So yeah - what are we going to do about this? Do you have an answer?
