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.
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.
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.
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.
Why would the unemployed take this work? They get a check form the government.
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?
SAVAGE PING !!!! (I think you have the list)
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.
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.
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.
So illegals are ONLY doing farm work??
How big a lie is that?
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.
If there weren't ILLEGAL immigrants willing to work under these conditions, and skewing the free market for labor, wages would have to rise and Americans WOULD take the jobs.
Imagines if there were ~550 Americans willing to be a Congressman/Senator for no wages/perks and actually read legislation and consider their constituents before voting. And current politicians had to compete with the people for their own jobs... fair??
This is just a way to confuse the issue. Jobs may be an issue in some cases. But the big and important issue is - the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. Legal, OK, illegal, not OK. All other talk is nonsense and a red herring.
For both the farmer and the worker -- pay for production and not by the hour. No reason Jake should get the same as Sam if Sam picks twice as much.
It will also give a true value. Work to fill one basket of strawberries and you'll get an idea how hard it is to do, how long it takes, and what you'll take to work that hard for that long.
Around here the illegal aliens dominate the construction business except for electricians and plumbers and I expect that is just a matter of time.
Don’t live in nor near agricultural areas but we’d happily take “our jobs” from those doing roofing, construction, lawn, housecleaning, and all restaurant, not to mention the cities hiring illegals to do their “green work,” street repair, etc. in the Metro Kansas City area (especially on the KS side of the State Line.)
It isn’t itinerant farm labor jobs that is the problem.
It is the janitorial, meat packing, chicken-flicking, construction, ship yard, fence building, fast food & restaurant, hospital/hospitality ancillary, and other sector jobs that are being taken over by the invading hordes.
These people don’t want Americans to remember the huge lines of unemployed Americn applicants at several sites, in multiple states, after immigration raids under GWB.
This is total BS! The number of people unemployed is so full of shit. You can’t call a person who does not want to work “Unemployed”. SOme folks rather sit on their ass and collect ObamaCare rather than work. There is no incentive for these people. Just go out and have more children and sooner or later, you will out number those decent folks who work for what they get. Then, we all die from killing each other, just at they do in CHicago. No repect and no values. WHen the handouts stop, no reason not to go rob, rape or kill for what you want. You voted for him, now live with his shit!
