I thought they were talking the whole time about potatoes. but anyway it don't change a thing to me, 6 mexicans that will do almost a 3rd more work than 25 american males, that is sad. I think 25 women could do more work than that.
    Reckon they were bred to pick?

    I feel very sorry for these disadvantaged people. In the modern world, there is a big gap between poor and rich people. It’s harder and harder for poor people to reach a new level and earn a large amount of money. I respect those people who make every effort to find a job and earn money for their bread, instead of stealing. Such topics should be more often raised in society and write interesting articles and essays that will affect all aspects of such people lives. Let's help poor people earn more and tell them how to do it. I will wait for your boom essays review on this subject.

    stop the free rides in this country.
    i know a 30 year old guy on 100% disability supposedly because he has to take medicine to sleep.
    he fishes almost every day or night and wins most tournaments.
    if he can do that, he's not disabled.
    food stamps, welfare, earned income credit, etc. should all be stopped.
    if parents would quit giving so much money to their kids, they would do work like i did.
    i hauled hay, cut tobacco, spread manure, etc. before i could drive legally.
    i was in the tobacco patch when i was 6 years old.
    i would have gladly picked tomatoes if they had that kind of work near me when i was young.
    as soon as i could drive, i got a job at the hardware store.
    train a kid to work when they become of age and they'll always want to work.
    i'm an old man and i feel useless if i'm not doing something productive.
    our current system trains kids not to work.

    Regardless of the original post or Mexicans....I agree that people who scam the system should not be allowed too....regardless of the scam. My buddy worked for an insurance agency (maybe deeper in that he let on) that would investigate scammers if they were reported. Its a dirty job and he quit from the stress and danger but things like this should be reported if possible.
    Another example....my old neighbor who was a veteran asked me if I was getting the hearing benefit? He explained to me that he complained about his hearing and the ringing in his ears to the VA....he had no issues but this was his scam. So after the testing and deliberate lies he received an amount each month for hearing loss from the gubment. He laughed when I said I wouldn't do it even though I have some health issues (back issues from a Tank accident) from my time in the Military but things like that piss me off. I'm old school to the bone....earn your keep, **** it up and move on.

    I think it can and does but percentages of people get hurt from the greed and immoral acts of others. If, and thats an enormous if..... the crooks would be held accountable things would be a little better. Unfortunate thing is when money and power mix some people get the itch to take more than they should. I see it everyday in construction.

    Farmers will pass the cost onto the consumers

    Farmers will just charge more for their products and we will pay more at the grocery store.

    I don't like the fact that people ILLEGALLY enter this country. Never have.. never will.


    But on the other hand, these Mexican's work hard and are cheap labor and that's what built America.

    So go figure! This is why we don't have comprehensive immigration regulations or laws.

    better re-think what you call cheap labor. i just had a shop built and the american contractor used some mexican labor. they were legal and paid taxes or he wouldn't have gotten my job but...he pays his top man $25/hour plus workers comp to government. that's as much as i made in my factory job. don't think all the mexicans work cheap.
