$50 an hour for an entire season to pick lettuce in Arizona.
Doubtful there are many Americans who would survive the 100 plus temperatures for hours on end, days on end.

If the illegals weren't here breaking the law and driving down wages then Americans would be getting paid more to do this work.
And yes, I would pay more for my lettuce.

I found InSain to be completely insulting in his statements. Shows that his temper invalidates him for Prsident. His point is well taken that there are only a certain segment that is willing to do menial labor at menial wages. Unfortunately they come from Mexico.
Many would prefer that those lettuce fields were plowed under and moved to Chile.

Who the hell do you think built this country? Our troops in Iraq are braving similar conditions in terms of the heat. You underestimate your fellow citizens or are buying into the MSM propaganda.

Americans are biologically capable. I know a few who would take McCain up on that offer. Most have decent English skills, to-boot.
