Ah yes. The good old days. Back in high-school when the farmers used to hire HS kids nights and weekends to help out. I remember enjoying it because I was working with so many of my friends. It was more fun than work! Bring them back!

I was working in technology in Oregon recently. Oregon has a vast farm industry. One lady who worked in a different department told me resentfully how her kids could no longer get hired to do extra harvesting work because tons of foreigners showed up, driving down the wages and sucking up the positions.

One young man who worked in the neighborhood barber shop told me he was dying to find a second job for some extra money, but there was nothing, so he was constantly short.

Americans LOVE to work, and work extra jobs to get ahead. I did, worked my way through college, sometimes working 48 hours a week PLUS a full load of classes (it can be done, take all your classes before 3pm, then head to the factory and work till 11pm, get up the next day and do it again!).

I repeat, Americans LOVE to work, and I am very angry to see illegals breaking rungs on our American ladder of personal advancement. I'm angry to see a "peasant class" taking embryonic form in our great Republic, and I'll try my best to stop it!!!
