Remember, these is NO SUCH THING as a job that people won't do. However, there are jobs that cannot attract workers AT THE WAGES THAT ARE BEING OFFERED. If these farmers were willing to pay an attractive wage there would be no problem in getting people to do the work. Instead, they offer a third world wage, and then get third world people to do the job. Then, when those workers cannot afford insurance, or medical care, or education or housing or food, they go on the public dole at taxpayer expense. This has to end soon, or there will be an extreme reaction by the majority population of this country. I'm not talking protests, I'm talking civil war.

No, I don't want to see civil war in this country, I want to see rule of law prevail. As of now our immigration laws are being completely ignored by our government, our industries and by the illegals themselves. How long before Joe Sixpack decides to ignore the rest of our laws? How long before the average citizen decides to give up on obeying the laws, and subscribes to the concept of "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law"? We are teetering on the edge of total catastrophe, and the results will NOT be pretty.

True. I don't know who keeps spouting all this nonsense about Americans being too prissy to get their hands dirty. For a wage they can live on, Americans will clean toilets, pick crops, shovel manure, etc. But, we won't do it for 50 cents an hour. We can't.

You said it much better than I could have. If they enforced our immigration problem with the same vigilance that the IRS uses to get every cent they can out of you, the problem would be solved.
