There is so much in this article to discuss. One of the most interesting assertions is that, because of the "crackdown" at the border, migrant workers have chosen to stay in America rather than take the chance of getting caught.

Of course, if you don't believe what is being said, most of this is article is a joke.

I kind of believe that they couldn't get welfare recipients to come out for $8.50 an hour and work all day.

Why should they? We have been telling folks for 70 years the government will take care of you. And, in addiion, such work is below your dignity.

Go to a Caratos "store". You will see the "poor" taking what they need. You will also see senior citizens out in the fields picking fruit and vegetables to fill the shelves of the Caratos store, during the picking seasons. You'll seldom, if ever, seen one of the poor out there working in the hot dirty fields. Why should the welfare recipient work in the fields for $8.50 an hour, when they can sit on their porch and let someone else do it. I see too many of these "poor", living and eating much better than a lot of us. Burns me up.
