Maybe if you pound truth into someone's skull long enough a little will leak into the cracks.

Your right I will say I took a few jobs in wa state that only mecicans do.
First was tree planting now they only pay pennies per tree don't remember I only lasted 1 day.
When I applied the guy said ill hire you but I have never had a white man that could do it.
Little while later I knew what he was talking about I was on the side of this mountain with a canvess bag hanging on my next with a ton of tiny trees in it you take you during tool forgot name kind of like a one sided pick. You swing it push the handel exposing the dirt stick the tree in and step on it another step repeat this it only took half hour and my back was hurting so much I wanted to screem .i looked around and noticed the Mexicans were way up the mountain from me. I went home.
Next pree commercial tree thinig as the sun came up me and 6 Mexicans each holding a chain saw stood at the base of the mountain and were told we would meet around noon at the top. We had to make sure trees weren't growing to close to each other which is 12 feet
Then go to the left till you meet the guy to the left then to the right till you meet the guy on the right. I made it till noon. And my back gave out, I worked that job 4 days before I realized
That my back was never going to stop hurting my pay ck was 28 dollars.
I got drunk and the desision to give this line of work.

Did it ever occur to you that if the Mexicans were not there they would have paid you more and given you more help ?

The majority of those illegally crossing the border are hard working individuals? Seems like the kind of information that would require some statistics to back it to...

Not really stoop labor is hard on a 50 some year old. But I'm sure 30 years younger I would have been able to do it.
So your right, if they paid more young guys could do this!
These guys made good money, but they busted their ass to do it.

I lived in an area that had a lot of them and found them hard-working and willing to do anything and scrapes with the law were few.

Since one of the objections to the illegals is that they take Americans' jobs (something I doubt), that objection assumes they are out there hustling, doesn't it? Can't have it both ways.
