My argument isn’t against paying farm workers more. My argument is about people making the claim the immigrants and migrants are stealing “their jobs”. Looks to me that those jobs are not good enough for people, because they don’t appear to be filled by the people that complain.
Just like all the whiners that complain about H1B without having the education or experience in ever writing a usable like a code.
People just complain way too much. That’s why the often let opportunity slip right by them, and someone else ends up seizing those opportunities. I hardly feel sorry for anyone who does.[/quote]
Again, hard physical work in semi-remote (way-rural) locations exposed to the elements for $12/hr or Starbucks in AC in local area for $15/hr.
Besides, I really doubt, you or I could even get hired to work a field if we wanted.
The farm business has been complaining and claiming people don’t want those jobs, yet they still, since McCain sat their shooting his mouth off about it in 2008, haven’t increased wages.
If business was a person buying a house in San Diego, they’d be complaining about no good homes while still trying to pay $150K for a 3 bedroom SFR ranch on the coast.
Why is that? Because we’ve allowed a continual stream of abused labor to be exploited. So the wages are still $12/hr.[/quote]

I’d be happy to pay more for our food in order to provide a better life for the people who are doing the damn hard work of laboring in the fields.
