Anglos cannot do this kind of work at least for very long, not these days.

B.S. I suggest you take a look at how an awful lot of Anglos made their living on farms as recently as the 1970s. Ever seen a Maine potato farm? Poor white folk always have done a fine job of harvesting those spuds.

We've become too soft & spoiled since the '70s, don't you think? If I was younger and had to dig taters, I would. Lettuce is different--quickly perishable--the growers need people who work fast & have endurance. Still, white people could do it if they had to--but they don't with all the necessities of life they get from Uncle Sam. They laugh when (or if) anyone suggest farm work. Farm subsidies enter the picture here, too. I've been told by dairy farmers they would gladly abandon subsidies, but BigAg controls the situation & perpetuates subsidies.

But the southern invasion was unnecessary from the start and it was fueled by politicians. Long ago we had a good program--Braceros--out here but somewhere along the way it was abandoned.
