Stop with this "Americans are too damn lazy to do anything" pap.

I didn't say Americans were too lazy to do anything. I said fruit and vegetable growers have not had much luck hiring white boys like you to do stoop labor. That has been the case for well over 40 years.

I know you don't like that reality, but it IS reality.

And American shoppers don't really care where their oranges come from.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yes, you did.

Don't slither away from your statements-although I suppos we should be used to that response from you-just because you're too cowardly to own up to them.

The only reason AMERICANS won't do "stoop labor"-as you sneeringly describe it-is because they do not want to work for slave wages.

I have news for you, dingus.

We abolished slavery and indentured servitude in this country, and the fact that you and your Big Agra/Wall St. Journal chums don't like that state of affairs doesn't mean anything to me, or the vast majority of Americans.

My reality-and the reality of all of the other people who aren't reflexive Bush bots-is the reality where our country is being systematically destroyed, and the party in power is waging unrestrained warfare against the middle class.

Keep your racial slurs out of this.

JOBS AMERICAN CITIZENS WON'T DO? According the the Pew Hispanic center, and data from 2005 census reports, the largest percentage of those jobs are done by US CITIZENS.

About 7.2 million unauthorized migrants were employed in March 2005, accounting for about 4.9% of the civilian labor force. They made up a large share of all workers in a few more detailed occupational categories, including 24% of all workers employed in farming occupations, 17% in cleaning, 14% in construction and 12% in food preparation.

And that's the beauty of people who exploited illegal immigrants - no one knew the real 'back-end' costs. All this time, growers have been underpaying their direct labor costs by letting taxpayers pick up the balance.

Only problem is, sinkspur, even the dumbest Americans know now that for every 5 cents they save on produce, construction, babysitting, etc. takes another 95 cents out of their taxes to support the ruinous social costs.

Your game is up.
