only cause the welfare RATS can't be made to work anymore or lose their place at the trough...This title is repulsive, It is wrong to degrade short farm workers.
There are only some 30 or 40 million illegals in this country. Maybe we should start rounding them up and giving them a choice.
Something is wrong here, we have increasing unemployment while at the same time we have increasing lack of farmworkers.
maybe he should try hiring some Americans

I worked at an orange packing house one Christmas vacation in the early 70s. This was Polk County, FL. I was on what they called “set off” which was grabbing boxes of oranges off the belt and stacking them so they could be grabbed by the fork lift and moved into trailers or box cars.
It was hard work and I was talking to the guys who I worked with. I asked why they didn’t pick oranges. Was it harder work? The answer was no it was easier. Do you make less? No you make more picking.
Then why do you work here. All the people in the packing house were locals. Their only answer was “it is inside work”.
I think there was literally a dividing line. The locals did inside work and the migrants did outside labor.
With 20-odd million illegals in the country it would appear they also think they are too good to pick strawberries.
The situation has to do with pay - and it always has... Farmers, assembly line factory owners, contruction owners - only want to pay the WAGE BUSTING price created by hiring illegal aliens. It has been proven time and again - if the pay is enough for an American to live a 1st. World lifestyle instead of 6 families to a house 3rd. World style then American workers will take the jobs... Every other excuse is a lie ...
Good American blue collar and farm workers cannot compete because they want a lifestyle similar to all the rest of us. But with unlimited illegal aliens flooding the country - undercutting the wage base - then jobs for Americans disappear. I can tell that some posters just do not get it ... Illegal aliens live 3-4-5 families to a household - even with low wages they can live just fine this way. Especially when the women go to the welfare, food stamps, and health clinics and LIE on the applications saying that they are not married and that there is no wage earner in her household. Then they go apply under a false name and get some of the same benefits. So the next time some of you guys want to make excuses then remember you are approving a system that shuts out good Americans from earning a living wage. Do you want live 3-4-5 families to a household or you want that for your nephew or neice ? Ten years ago bricklayer wages and meat cutter packing plant wages dropped from around $18.00 an hour to $8.00. Is this what you want for America?
Thankfully, we have around to denigrate those who are down on their luck.
Maybe you could walk around with a sandwich sign raising awareness for the down trodden as to how they can imrpove thier lives, right now.
No, skip that. Better idea:
You could star in your very own infomercial and bring joyful tears to their faces for finding you and learning the the mysteries of life.
The ILLEGALS have figured out how to work the system instead of work for a living.
No surprise there.
I saw the same “report” last week....out of AZ.
As long as .gov pays a living “wage” to people that sit on their butts. There will be a shortage of low skill labor.
I guess we’ll need to import another 20 million turd-worlders after amnesty gets rammed through. Sure as hell won’t raise the pay to attract honest labor.
The dirty little secret about crimmigration is that they’re not coming here to take our low wage menial jobs.
“Guess the people on unemployment or that have dropped out of the workforce are too good to pick strawberries? Guess they would rather get the handouts!”
Hey, jackass, why don’t you find out where they moved to farms to. Oh, that’s right, next to the Mexican border so they can use illegal aliens and too far for most Americans to make the trip. Screw you. Learn a little history before mouthing off.
Official 7.6% unemployment, real unemployment 16-20% , youth unemployment 25% nearly 1000 million out of the work force , 30-40 million illegal immigrants in country and a farmer can’t find ANYONE to pick strawberries?
Hard to believe.
Perhaps he should try paying a little more
