The old “bracero” program worked pretty well in California, and allowed us to track those who had temporary work visas. Picking grapes or lettuce is back breaking work, and I can see how it would be mutually beneficial to use people who have no problem with this type of labor.
It’s a whole lot better than our current open borders, and the subsequent drain on “entitlements” that come right out of our pockets, with zero control over illegals.
Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that crap. And soon you’ll be believing that Obama isn’t such a bad guy after all.
“The old “bracero” program worked pretty well in California,”
I thought it worked well too. I worked along side them in the 60s and remember being shocked the 1st time I saw a Border Patrol plane fly over and a bunch of Mexicans run to hide.
A whole different attitude then as they were afraid to break our laws and get caught.
Total crap.
Eliminate all welfare in the US and anything that stinks like welfare.
Then Americans will be happy to do ag jobs and other labor for money, so they can eat and buy shoes to wear.
The reason Americans “won’t do” this kind of labor is because they’d rather get welfare or sell drugs.
Execute drug dealers and eliminate welfare. Plenty of Americans would soon be overjoyed to pick tomatoes and mow grass.
Do you think that all these tens and tens, and tens and tens of millions of illegals over the last few decades have been coming here to pick some grapes and lettuce?
Where do you live where you haven’t noticed them taking over all blue collar work?
