Since I am in the "All" category, I will give this a shot. The cite was "largest percentage of those jobs are done by US CITIZENS." The reply reinforced the cite. 95.1% citizens in the workforce, 76% citizens in farming, 83% citizens in cleaning, 86% citizens in construction, 88% citizens in food preparation. Exactly what is the point?

The "point" was to refute sinkspur and others claim that illegals are the only ones that do the farm work for over 40 years.

I didn't say Americans were too lazy to do anything. I said fruit and vegetable growers have not had much luck hiring white boys like you to do stoop labor. That has been the case for well over 40 years. I know you don't like that reality, but it IS reality.
