I am against illegal activities of all kind. I am torn with realizing that we whites are becoming a minority. But maybe it serves us right; we took this country from Indians and Mexicans, so perhaps by going back to a brown majority we are simply returning to our roots. When I learned in elementary school that the whites killed the Indians, I was shocked. Now it’s payback time.
One item that I can’t reconcile is Bush’s statement that Mexicans do jobs that Americans wont do. I think he is right. The news has been covering the shortage of agricultural workers, resulting in crops rotting in the fields. CA ag workers are paid an average of $10.12/hr, but this year the shortfall in workers is higher, due to stricter border enforcement.
What is the solution for getting farm workers? Why won’t Americans pick strawberries for $10.12/hour? Don’t we have unemployed prisoners, retarded people, teens, welfare recipients? That salary is well above minimum wage. Why is it so hard to fill those jobs?
In the end, this is another example of wage inflation. The farmers will end up paying more money for this, and the price of strawberries will go up.
