Immigrants To Unemployed: 'Come On, Take Our Jobs' (ONE FOR MICHAEL SAVAGE ...)

IMPO Insider ^ | June 25, 2010 | Juliana Barbassa, Associated Press Writer

This is a challenge that should be answered; yesterday, Savage was complaining about young whites not taking these jobs so this would be a good one for him to push. Imagine how surprised Colbert would be when this backfires.

[bigfootbob]

We can dream...but it won’t backfire. Know many American teenagers? Just look at Obamacare, humans in America are kids now until 26? Those little spoiled bastards, with few exceptions will not take a job that makes them sweat.

[Mr. K]

This is good- I have nothing against peoppe who come here and work hard and take care of their families- I actually supported Bush’s ‘guest worker’ program

For this very reason. I doubt those on unemployment would take those jobs.

So... in order to get them here LEGALLY and know who we have in our country, have a guest worker program. That way they can come and go without fear and we have less of that problem and we would know who is here!

anyone else must be criminals and drug runners

I regularly drive by these fields and every single car parked at the side of the pick is better than mine.

Anyone taking them up on the offer will get the worst job in the field —count on that.

[library user]

A friend was telling me about a small business in Arizona which hired only illegals (about 200). The place was raided (perhaps by ICE) and within a week all 200 illegals were replaced by American workers. So this idea or notion that Americans won't do the work of illegals is total and utter nonsense.

I know many here will want to know the name of the company. I'll try to get that as I know that's an important component for my argument.

[fightinJAG]

This is a good idea. But I don’t think this should be targeted at the unemployed. I think it should be targeted to those on welfare.

[all the best]

Why would the unemployed take this work? They get a check form the government.

[VRW Conspirator]

I mentioned before: I saw a number of contractor trucks in the neighborhood. THey were there to trim trees around the power lines. Near as I could tell, the workers, numbering about 10, were all Spanish speaking with broken English. Tell me that these are jobs that Americans won’t do? Tell me that most if not all were here legally?

[Chi-townChief]

SAVAGE PING !!!! (I think you have the list)

[TokuMei]

Why was the Cotton Gin invented? Because a war was fought over whether slavery was legal or not —the answer was no.

The altered cost structure made it rational to automatize cotton picking.

Hmmm...I wonder why we don’t have more innovation in farming labor? I WONDER...

[Frantzie]

A slaughterhouse was raided about a year ago. The worst job in the world if you ask me. At least 100 illegals were out. Thousands of Americans lined up for those jobs. Colbert is a POS.

[exhaustguy]

Every year we recruit thousands of kids in the midwest to detassel. It is hard/hot work. I did the calculations, and, it appeared, once you got past the promises, to amount to about $4-5/hr for my daughter who is now old enough to work.

[w1andsodidwe]

One of the problems that I see is that the government stops kids from taking some of these jobs. When I was growing up in rural Iowa, we often made money in the summer by detasseling corn. Now farm workers are brought in to do it, because the companies are no longer allowed to employ teenagers for this work.

That said, I often laugh when I am being told that we need to build a skateboard park or some such because there is just nothing for the kids in our California town to do. Growing up on the farm, I never once complained that I had nothing to do, because my mother could always find something to occupy my time.

So... in order to get them here LEGALLY and know who we have in our country, have a guest worker program. That way they can come and go without fear and we have less of that problem and we would know who is here!

What about diseases? Do we also require vaccinations as a condition for entering the country? Something else to think about.

[rogue yam]

Folks are missing the point.

First you close the borders. Then you deport all of the illegals.

Now farmers are offering their jobs only to people who are legally entitled to take them. The employers and applicants negotiate a wage they can both accept and work commences.

Econ 101, people. Learn it, believe it, use it.

[GeronL]

So illegals are ONLY doing farm work??

How big a lie is that?

[Soothesayer9]

Oh I think it does a lot more than simply “make you sweat”. I grew up on a farm. Fed animals, baled hay, horses, built fences, from sunup to sundown, 6am to 6pm. It can be
backbreaking work. I would *not* recommend it to anyone over 30 if you are not in decent shape.

And I don’t appreciate being called a “bastard” by you or anyone else on this forum. Don’t criticize unless you have actually done the work yourself.

[GeronL]

Millions more guaranteed socialist voters to boot.

[MSF BU]

Farm work is an excellent outlet for voluntary prison labor. Let the petty thieves, drunks and bar toughs pick and sort. It will do them well.

proofreading is not my specialty... I swear I try!!!
