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

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.

How long before the wages, retirement plans and medical benefits for these jobs are cut and hoards of illegal immigrants take them from Americans for minimum wage?

In a year or two we'll hear mining described as just another job soft, lazy Americans won't do.

The left's code for another industry that doesn't pay a living wage, anymore.
