“Here’s a thought, how bout addressing the issue of where you going to find labor to replace the Mexicans rather than your cheap attacks.”
In 1999, I was laid-off from a manufacturing job. I was off for 18 months and had trouble finding part-time work. I live not far from several farming communities. There were no openings. None.
I was laid-off again in 2001 for 8 months. Again no farm job opening any where in the area.
Ok, that was then and this is now. My brother got out of the military in mid-December and hunted all over for a job. He did not find one until April. It is fast food work. He hasn’t found anything else since.
An associate of mine has both this son and daughter living with him and both have been hunting for jobs and they are not finding any. There are not ads in the paper or online in this area for farm labor even though there are several farms.
All the examples I gave are of people born in this country who are not farming, and instead struggling for survival and you are supporting the idea that they should not be able to get farm jobs so that people who broke the law to enter this country could have jobs.
I will not thank a Mexican for preventing me and others from working.
I read your story and thought you were here in Michigan. I’m not quite sure why we need illegals in the worst unemployment in the country.
When I was a kid, I did LOTS of farmwork in upstate New York.
Now, my brothers kids sit around the house and get fat because there are no jobs. And yes, they have looked for them, but get turned down because the illegals have the jobs. True fact.
