Did you hear about the UFW campaign to "Take Our Jobs".

Apparently it was a dismal failure. It did not matter how much publicity they got or how many TV shows they appeared on. They had very few takers. Last I heard there were only seven applicants.

What was fake about it? They dared people to do their jobs and nobody took them up on it. Everybody on these boards seems to know a lot of people who would be happy to pick produce. This would have been the perfect opportunity to show those foreigners that they were not needed. All you had to do was flood them with applications. Sign your kids up. Sign the neighbor's kids up. What the heck. It would be an exciting and rewarding experience for them. Whole families can even work together.
I don't know why nobody has thought of this before. Mexicans have been picking our crops for over a hundred years.

Come up with what stuff? You made a stupid statement. I called you out on it. You have no answer so you pivot into nonsense.
I can see why your limitations have made you such a bitter person, but maybe you should stop blaming bus boys,landscapers or anybody else for your short comings.

Ilegals are bad for the USA over all. The good of the many outweighs the good of the few. That's what the USA is all about. But we don't include foreign national illegals in that. No reason to.
Farmers who want slave labor can move their farms to a third-world country like Mexico and make a fortune. They should stop whining and go there.
