Wish your mom a Happy Birthday from me, as well.

Have you noticed that the list of rescued miners are composed of Americans mostly in their late 40's and early 50's?

I thought Americans were too soft and lazy to do hard, dangerous jobs like this anymore.

When Americans Became Soft Hispanic Workers Stepped In

How come soft, lazy Americans are still doing these dangerous jobs?

I understand the point you are making, but I want to interject that while I am also "Hispanic", I'm an American first :)

This rescue was miraculous!

Mexicans. They do the jobs that big business is too chintzy to pay an American a living wage to do (while dumping the pest's subsidy costs off on those same Americans).

Americans have always been known to do an honest days work for an honest days pay. Unfortunately a lot of jobs are being undercut by immigrants.

I am glad we had American technology and the American spirit of "get the job done" instead of having to rely on third world expertise. Had that been the case, the miners probably would not have survived.
