Florida Democrat: Without Immigration Reform, Where Will We Get Our Landscapers and Maids?
http://freebeacon.com ^ | february 25, 2014

Posted on 02/25/2014 2:05:17 PM PST by lowbridge

Florida Democratic congressional candidate Alex Sink said immigration reform was important at a Tuesday debate because, without it, it would be difficult for employers to find people to clean hotel rooms and do landscaping.

“Immigration reform is important in our country,” she said. “We have a lot of employers over on the beaches that rely upon workers and especially in this high-growth environment, where are you going to get people to work to clean our hotel rooms or do our landscaping? We don’t need to put those employers in a position of hiring undocumented and illegal workers.”

Back in the 80s I and all my friends were working on farms and restaurants doing all the low paid jobs.

Guess snowflakes just weren’t so special back then.

How about we give EBT users the choice of doing that job or not getting MY Tax money?

Same thing you Democrats did when you couldn’t depend on black slaves for your landscaping and maid needs?

How about the children and wives of Democrat politicians?

I’ve always felt that we should have a low base level of benefits that can be raised through work.

Unfortunately that might get some folks to thinking that work is an even better option and we can’t have that.

I’ve always wondered...

my first job in high school was working for a roofer illegally, off-the-books

it was a common way to make a few bucks in poverty-ridden rural NC, besides running drugs between Wilmington and points north (which I never did)

anyway, my adult co-workers were drunks, speed freaks and borderline ‘tards—who’ve since been replaced with illegals.

question: what are those sorts of barely-functioning people doing now?

Generally living on the taxpayer dime in low income housing somewhere.

Unbelievable -- I get fliers daily from landscapers and maid services and watch them in the neighborhood and none of them are from across the border. They are all American citizens doing those jobs.

Hire Americans.

Pay them the wages for which they will work.

Too expensive?

Mow your own damn lawn!

“to find people to clean hotel rooms and do landscaping. “

And the unemployment rate among citizen youth is what?

Back in the 80’s I’d go to a resort area, all of the hotels had high school or early college age kids working as maids, butlers, cleanup, whatever. Earn cash, hang out and party in a fancy resort all summer.

Newspaper delivery in my area used to be kids, now it looks like adults who don’t speak English.

Lots of us picked fruit, depending on the season, now it’s all “migrants”.
