Why don't we just put the people who hire illegals out of business?

We'd starve to death. Most of the employers of illegals are farms and
food
processing plants.


There are plenty of citizens who can do the work.

Perhaps, but not many who WOULD. I worked the fields when I was in my tweens
and early teens, just to have spending money (dad didn't believe in
allowances). I was the only one there, ever, that wasn't either Mexican or
Native American. Most Americans don't want the hard work for the low wages.
Field work is damn hard.

Dave will do it! :-)

I use one of my tree limb bow saws, cutting under that pecan tree stump
AT ground level, I do that A OK.If I was working in a field and picking
produce, no problem for me.At my age though, I am slow.But, I am in no
hurry to get rid of that pecan tree stump.

Actually, I am going to keep the pecan tree stump sections I saw off.I
might want to use my bandsaw on them someday, make something nice out of
them.Pecan Wood is purrty Wood.

I picked melons one summer South of Yuma. Used the money to buy my

There are parts of America where white teenagers mow lawns.
