Question

Whenever somebody asks who's going to work on the farms if all illegal inmigrantes were to be deported, a lot of people answers that i'll be no problem at all, given the fact that before ''massive illegal inmigration'' the job was done by Americans, but nobody says they are going to try it for a while, nor they want to replace this illegal workers, except for 1 or 2 persons saying they used to do it before, but not a word on whether or not going back to the ''good ol' days''

Hey ludo, i'm not saying that it is ok to deport them, i'm the son of an inmigrant who worked in the Indiana farms for years, so i know what i'm talking about, i'd just made a simple question, nothing more!

I'm noy saying that every illegal work on a farm, nor every farm worker is illegal, i'd just used it as on example, i know there are plenty of other jobs that not everybody will be very glad to do them!
On the other hand there are better jobs that get done by illegal inmigrants as well, but who are we to blame them for being good workers?
And before somebody says that not all are good workers, i know it too, just like in any other community or race!

Answer 1

Having lived and worked in the San Joaquin Valley for 23 years I can say with 100% certainty nobody but Mexicans and Filipinos work those fields. I personally didn't see anyone else lining up to take those jobs.

Answer 2

There is some merit to what you say and you did NOT say ALL illegals work on farms. You mention farms being a place where they work, not mentioning other places, which deals with what your point is.

When I was a teen, I would have given anything to earn a few bucks working to pick berries on a farm. Now, the jobs are often taken by migrant farm workers. MIGRANT because these people not only move to where the work is AND they pay no taxes.

If the parents got off their asses, I'm betting you would see an influx of the amount of teens kept busy working instead of sitting around squawking how bored they are all summer. If ONLY these migrant farm workers were deported.

Answer 3

I do a job now that people say lazy Americans wont do. There were illegals in the factory I work at and they were deported. The jobs were filled immediately by legal citizens that had been having trouble getting hired. The claim that Americans wont do the jobs illegals do is a lie.

Answer 4

There are actually plenty of legal immmigrant farm workers. There are still a few intinerate americans out there who will do farm, or any other kind of work. The problem is that someone, in the US, is making money by recruiting and smuggling illegal aliens into the US and getting them work while they are here.

Answer 5

It is not that Americans are lazy, why would a U.S. employer hire an American at minimum wage, when he can hire an illegal and increase his profit margin? How else could CEO's get a million dollar bonus at the end of the year?

Chee - You must be wearing "colored" glasses, go look again.

Answer 6

These anti-immigration people don't really think about what life would be like without illegal immigration. They would probably be lost without the cheap labor but that wouldn't matter because the important thing is that they got rid of the freeloaders, right? I have a feeling that how they will make up for the loss of the immigrants is not quite as important as just getting rid of them.

Answer 7

I don't want to go to the good ol' days. I'm 26. Let the legal Mexicans do it.

Answer 8

When we start deporting the illegals, I will be so happy I will kiss an illegal.

Answer 9

mnwoman, of course its a lie. Politicians have been selling that idea to americans. How can you tell if a politician is lying? their lips are moving

Answer 10

lets face it, americans have gotten way to lazy of the past few years. they used to be hardworking but now almost nobody would do the jobs illegal immagrints do.
