Defending America

I do not buy into the whole we need illegals to run the country. Guess what? I have picked produce, I have worked on the farm, I have built fence and guess what I am white. I am as white as the driven snow. I worked right along side illegals and honestly the guys that I worked for wished they did not have to hire boarder jumpers but no was willing to work 11 to 13 hours a day. But the thing is, we all got paid equal wages. We all got minimum wage, breaks, time off if needed. And these where agricultural jobs where breaks are not required by law.

A lot of people that I know are just to damn lazy to get on there hands and knees and pick onions, or apples, or drive a pea combine for 14 hours a night. That is why some farmers and employers are forced to hire illegals. But yes I am sure in larger cities companies target illegals because they can get away with paying them pennies.

Up to i should have said, it averaged 10 to 12 hours. Normally 6pm to 6am. But I was paid fairly for my work and I did get my time off that I was supposed to. But a lot of people do see that as slave labor. You should talk to a concrete finisher that runs his own crew. Those guys put in 12 to 14hours a day 6 days a week 9 months out of the year if they have a winter. Some times you must do what you have to do. Some just don't see it as being worth it.

Sorry for getting this off topic a bit but I do have some opinions on this.

We as a nation need to focus on securing our borders and providing help for those that enter our country legally. QUOTE]


If the government was really concerned about that that would be where they would be spending more of their money. The government uses the made up war on terror, as a guise to do what they otherwise could not do.

There is no acceptable way to stop Latin American immigration into the U.S. The more money we invest in that futile effort is more money wasted. It won't work.

This is kind of corny. I sense standards have fallen a bit. Doesn't seem like the same place. Hmm.......
