Down here a lot of people would be more than glad to do that...
Is this for real? Unbelievable how out of touch Mccain is with working Americans. $50/hour is alot of money
He’s teeing up McBama Amnesty for 2010.
His legacy, sorry people, should have ended in the Keating 5 and a rich 2nd wife.
i’d pick it for half that
McCain has a side that is definitely windbaggish- this isn’t the first time I’ve wanted to put my foot in his can for taking it upon himself to incorrectly define my work ethic.
My mother and her family, did it for a lot less.
If this is real, let’s count the ways he is out of touch. 20 million illegal residents and their families are NOT picking lettuce.
Even in NJ and PA, there are huge communities of illegals. They are working everywhere, in the public schools, libraries, in restaurant kitchens, construction, everywhere.
These are jobs Americans DID do and jobs they need. Americans are out of work and need these jobs.

I think most FReepers remember this. The problem that came to light was 40 years ago. Immigrants would cross and work the Gila Valley then go home. No harm, No foul. The rules were broken and nobody cared. Now it has become a major breach by miscreants that have only harmed these migrant workers.
When will McMoron just STFU? I don’t earn $50.00 an hour as a EE. Sure I’d pick lettuce for $50.00 an hour or even quite a bit less, depending on my circumstances. It certainly sounds like McQueeg wants to ensure Democrat political dominance for the next few decades with idiot talk like this.
This is almost 4 years old, is this supposed to be in current?
WOW - sounds pretty racist to me! - so only people from south of the border will?
I’m glad he came out with this - only adds fuel to the fire that is going to burn him here in AZ in 2010!
The illegals around here don’t pick lettuce, they run every restaurant and fast food place in town. I’d gladly pick lettuce for $50 an hour, all season long.
This article is from 2006. =
Still $50 allot of money. These people are so out of touch with real America.
Wonder what he pays per hour for pickin’ cotton?
I wish McCain would shut up and retire. Or retire and shut up.
He *lost* the election, he has a lot of bad ideas, and someone else has already mentioned the Keating deal, he should have been happy with that and shut up and retired then.
I respect the man for being a pilot, flying in combat, and going through being a POW. But he is even more poorly suited to being an elected representative of the people than I am, and he needs to disappear.
I would freaking pick lettuce for $50/hour and I have a graduate degree!
Crud, this idiot is the head of the GOP? What freaking LOSERS!
What a maroon. No one I know would turn down that much money per hour to pick lettuce. Well, one would but he’s - shall we say - not motivated. < eye roll >
related obama will make sure they become legal

Why are you posting a speech made by McCain in April, 2006 today?
This stuff is almost four years old.
