If you won't mind paying $6 per lb for your fresh vegetables and fruit, then your idea would be great!
Only problem, since Americans won't pay $6 per lb for their produce, then imported vegetables will continue to overtake the sales of domestic ones.
I thank God that these morons are such a small percentage of the GOP now. Back when Pat Buchanan was still around, they had a much bigger say. They also didn't win much of anything.
I am outraged by Buffalo Bush. How dare that man say that I would not do the jobs, any job it takes, to put food on the table of my family.
How dare that man say such a thing. That I am a lazy American, and the only Mexicans who come here illegally have the character to do a job, any job, to put food on the table for their family.
He can go to Mexico and not come back.
My forefathers lived in a wooden box pulled by a horse with a canvas for a roof called a horse drawn wagon, to go somewhere, to put food on the table.
My forefathers worked in dirty mines, chucking broken quartz and rock into wagons, to put food on the table. I will do the job, I will get up on someones roof and put up shingles, I will paint a wall, I will pick up garbage, to put food on the table for my family. I am an American. And I am proud. And I have the character to do anything it takes.
How DARE this President say I wont do the job it takes if that is what it takes to put food on the table for my family. How DARE he say that.
I am an American. I will work. My character, and the character of my forefathers, brought the FREEDOM of this nation, not some illegal alien from Mexico. I will put MY character up against them any day, any place.
Against any one.
Including you, Mr. Bush.
Me effing too.
Our President is destroying this country. I've been a lifelong Pubbie since 1964. I'm thinking of switching and going for the Liebermeister. Allowing ILLEGAL immigrants legal status is against the law. Where is John Ashcroft on this issue?
Damn, I am so pissed-off at W that I switch the channels from Fox to CNN and back, just so I don't even want to hear this sell-out by a man that I loved as Commander-in-Chief.

There's no such thing as overpopulation.
Try Fox. W was making a speech. A camera from CNN is recording the same words from W's podium as Fox. LISTEN to W's words.
Guess you didn't grow up in farm country?
....its not just on the farms doing stoop labor or in the milking barns on corporate farms...they are also taking jobs in the big processing plants..meat packing and vegetable canning..it's here that many Americans have been replaced...and now wont be hired...It isn't because Americans don't want these jobs..College students, high school students and house wives who worked during the seasons for extra money..and tuition. I earned college money this way my self...and so did many of the kids I went to school with..
Of course big outfits like the Clinton's best buddies Tyson Chicken...use a lot of Mexican labor and have been busted using illegals and underage illegal's children....
The Mexicans don't go back to Mexico anymore...they stay through the winter...and take advantage of state programs..education, health care and other state programs..to save money they live communally....in some small towns they are also a violent crime and property crime problem..
According to crime stats the illegals are also a source of drug trafficking...Mexican "red" methamphetamine making inroads among our local teens...
Once they are registered...the 'owners of the means of production' will have to carry them on insurance..pay them workman's comp...unemployment...social security disability...their cheap labor advantage is about to disappear I think...they are about to get very expensive...
One of the new 'migrants' around here wears a neat Teeshirt with a pic of Che Gueverra on it... makes one wonder what other business he has in America besides pickin apples or working in the food processing plant.. Wait till they get organized...
Naturally for all the problems we are about to incur because of them... tax payers will have to shell out even more...for our new Mexican outreach social program...
IMO
As I look at the peanut gallery posts it is humerous that rather than address your statement you are being derided personally. Oh well...some just try to raise themselves by putting others down. Poor for them.
I voted for Pres Bush. I am glad he is the Pres at this point in history. I do not care for his position on the Illegal Invasion. I do not think there are any simple answers. Those here and established must be dealt with. Those coming in should be held accountable for breaking our laws. And it is IMPERATIVE to cancel the 'Anchor Baby' programs.
Good post.
Highly unlikely.
Well... unless you are some leftist anti-WTO nut job, or, one of their like-minded supporters at FR.
W wants to give 8-13 million ILLEGAL immigrants the right to stay in this country.
If you break the speed limit or murder someone; haven't you broken the law? W is allowing amnesty to people who have illegally broken the law of immigration to this country.
