im not doing any bashing but, dont you guys think that a few months ago when this whole immigration thing got started to get everyones attention away from the real issues, the republicans all got on fox news and said that aliens are a vital part of our workforce, working hard on our farms in the homeland to better this nation etc etc. wouldnt all you people feel the same way? or do you people honestly all hate the idea of people coming in and taking the jobs nobody else wants. therefore the whole wage spectrum is shifted downward if there was nobody to work the tobacco for 3.55 an hour, eh? how about all you yuppies get down to where i'm at to see how appreciative you should be of these people. you guys can all pull some tobacco. you wouldnt last an hour.
You guys down in Tobacco country must be some real p*ssies if your crops would go unharvested were it not for illegal aliens and the crooks that hire them.
What they call tobacco today - poked with pitchforks, crushed, and half@$$ cured - wouldn't have qualified as floorsweepings when I was coming up. If a cropper cracked a stem, he or she was sent home. I took out plenty of barns of tobacco at 2 cents a stick. Do you recall, "Two big ones, three little ones..."? If you're over forty, I suppose you would...
Yeah. I lasted more than an hour - in fact, we started at 5:30 and would have two barns in by 9. In the morning.
