I'd much rather pick lettuce for McCain at $50/hr than be a coal miner.
1. The ones in prison. 2. The ones on welfare. 3. The ones who have been aborted.
Simple answers: 1. Bring back the chain gangs. 2. End Welfare. 3. End abortion.
Problem solved.
I won't vote for McCain for $50 an hour.
I won't either. but if he pays me from his personal fortune, I'll pick lettuce for him for $50/hour. or volunteer my kid to do it.
A day without an immigrant... is a blessing to Americans.
But hey, lets get some dome illegal immigrants who can't speak the language to do the dirty work for us and then claim we are being patriotic to our economy.
So the price of a head of lettuce is what's driving decisions about illegal immigration? Friggin' lettuce?
OK then going forward, let it be known that I am perfectly willing to pay $8 for a head of lettuce.
Here is what the "Coalitions for Justice" are delivering to congressional offices today. They're not demanding much, are they? They went around and got the signatures on these last last week:
"I write to urge you to back a realistic and productive comprehensive immigration reform package that does not include any hidden twps (sic) that would sabotage legalization programs, and to reject an enforcement only approach. The provisions of Sensenbrenner HR 4437 that passed the House of Representatives in December 2005 are bad polky (sic) and a dead end for our communities and our economy. Please support immigration reform that will include the following provisions:
I. A path to citizenship or earned legaliza1ion that is straightforward for those of the 12 million undocumented currently living in the US. who desire it.
2. A temporary program for those who desire to maintain their permanent roots in their coUntries of origin that includes worker protections for both domestic and immigrant workers and provide visa portability
3. An effective and speedy plan to reunite families.
4. Provisions for travel to and from countries of origin for immigrants here on worlr (sic) visas.
5. Greater provisions for friture (sic) flows of immigrants coming to the US. That includes a path to dtizenship
6. No more expensive. dead, and ineffective walls on the borders.
7. Promotion of full civic participation in immigrant communities."
Had a weird dream last night that everyone was complaining about th price of lettuce. But, the other veggies are priced as normal.
I'll just grow my own(for medicinal,personal use only of course)
Only the ignorant think that illegals are making slave labor wages. I've lived many places that relied significantly on illegal labor pools in the US, and in every single case I can think of they were being paid more than minimum wage. In some more remote areas, they are the only labor available and command a comfortable wage.
I fully expected to see the following with that:
Have brand new houses built for them
Have brand new cars provided for them
Give free $5000 debit cards to them for their clothes and whatnots
It's rediculous.
I had a family member brutally murdered by a pack of illegals back in 1979. Lets just say my family is more than ready for that fence and for something of SUBSTANCE to be done about the problem.
A study was done that even @$10/hr. it would only raise it half a dollar.
Btw- remember that 3 stooges episode in towelheadland?
One of the sheetheads was named "halfadollar", who's got the other names, stooge fans?
Just remember,gas companies are evil ,but Cargill and Tyson are patriotic for hiring illegals.

I think I feel a sniffle coming on - you better send me some.
Try Stormfront, newb. They're more your type.
