Bravissimo! Thank your BP friend for hilarious story. Lord, what absolutely worthless piles of primate protoplasm these crossers are... “eating tamales”.
And, having been thrown into just such a really nasty thorned prickly pear— know what he means.
This has to stop— permanently. Not the Bush El Norte future Aztlan America...no more.
Unfortunately, Roger R__________, USBP retired in 1991. He moved to AZ to live with his niece & we’ve lost touch. - I don’t even know if he’s still alive.
YEP, he was a great guy & told great stories of “the old days working in the borderlands”.
(I, too, know more than I want to know about pulling thorns out of my increasing old & fragile body, after “Frisco” decided to “cut up” & tossed me into the cactus.)
Everyone should also know that what I said about starting/continuing a GOOD/WELL-MANAGED “Guest Worker Program” is also 100% FACT. = The frank TRUTH is that if readers believe that family farms need to continue to function/exist, we MUST have a ready supply of seasonable workers & FEW or NO Americans are willing to take those seasonal jobs.
As a result of Mother NOT being able to LEGALLY hire men to repair/build fences/tend the livestock, we had to cease our family’s (moderately large) swine production operation, that our family had operated for THREE CENTURIES PLUS.
Mother was forced to sell all of the livestock (Other than 4 horses) & went into a coastal hay production operation, which is FAR less profitable.
As I see it, LOSE ALL (or virtually all) of the family-owned small farms OR allow us to lawfully hire the seasonal farm laborers that farm families HAVE to have to stay in operation.
Just my OPINION, TMN78247
