Its not just agri-business any more, Dr. Many of the jobs they take merely reflect the greed of employers. Construction is a good example. Jobs that paid 15.00 to 20.00 per hour 15 years ago are now paying 6.00 to 8.00 per hour and even the foremen are generally bi-lingual, so as to be able to communicate with both the crew and the business owner. 570 posted on 1/2/02 12:58 PM Pacific by Ridin' Shotgun
And you can name 100 other jobs where you must now be bi lingual in California to get a job.

Homes have never been less affordable, they aren't cheaper in areas of the country that use illegals, in fact they're probably more affordable when it's American labor building them.
