Exactly, we build the country, but suddenly are too lazy to do any work.

And you are going to take a job pciking vegetables or tarring a roof in 100 degree heat, when, Mr. uber American.

Strawman argument Dane, cut it out.

If I was unemployed and my options were to roof a house. ( which I can do) or pick vegetables ( which I can do) then I WOULD DO IT.

Are there not unemployed American citizens?

Plenty of American felons make their living on roofing crews, that is until the Mexicans move in and undercut wages by 25-50%.

You know, you're really something. I've thrown more hay bales in my life than I can count. I'm nearly half a decade old and I still shovel cow shit. My husband works in the construction industry. I picked asparagus when I was in my teens. Just who in hell do you think built this country?

Dane,
It sure sounds like YOU don't need the kind of "job an American won't do", but I have friends who work on pig farms, chicken farms, contruction, etc.

As a teen I DID work picking vegtables and tobacco during the summer for spending money.

I also put myself through engineering school working road contruction and digging ditches during the summer.

Maybe YOUR elitist friends won't get their hands dirty, but there are still a hell of a lot of Americans who do this kind of work EVERY DAY to make a living, and they do not want these jobs taken away from them or their wages depressed by illegals.
