The heck with illegals..I'm a bonda-fide lifelong citizen of the U.S....happy to move to Arizona for the picking season for $50 an hour- I'm not afraid of hard work and love being outdoors. Wonder if I'd qualify? :)

Old enough to know better than to post the thread in every possible topic.

I fixed that.

They only pick lettuce from the end of November to the middle of March in Yuma.




Wow, I could winter in a warm climate for once, sign me up!

I'd rather pick ILLEGAL aliens out of society and deport them for $50/hour.

But the sky would fall and the economy would collapse!!!/s off

I called and was told that it was a "rhetorical" statement by McCain.

His office does not care what you think, I 'm sure he does not either.

No jobs, but please call anyway.

Yeah, some guys went into his office and asked for applications. The secretary told them, McCain was just joking.

So apparently, Mr. McLame thinks it's all a joke.

OK, so he got booed by union creeps. They're for amnesty. By the way, the original posters "source" was McCain's website. There's nothing there to suggest anything what this thread is about.

I'd pick lettuce for $50 an hour, too. But do I get dental and a 401(k), and not have to pay union dues?

I'm going to undercut your wage. I'm willing to do it for $30 an hour tax free. LOL

I see no one building the fence down there.

BTW the weather is great in Yuma in the winter...

I'm sure it is the best time of year to build that fence.

You are forgiven.

Please call and let McCain know what you think. I called they are taking comments.

I talked to my sister. She is ready to ship her kids off to Yuma, and if they are good, she will give them a cut!

I pick lettuce in my own garden for free. I plant it too. This is on top of my regular job. How stupid does that make me?
