[Oregon Coast Conservative]

Tell that to the former tree planters, mill workers, and former construction workers that live where I do. Mexicans have taken their jobs. Why, because they will work for less, and can't ask questions or complain about working conditions. It's not that Americans won't take the jobs, they are being forced out of many of them. Last summer my son went to do something that I used to do to make money in the summer, pick apples in Hood River. Guess what he discovered, he wasn't allowed to work there because the supervisor only spoke spanish, and didn't want to deal with an English speaker. Now just imagine the howling in the media if it were the other way around!
