For starters, why should americans work when they can earn more sitting on their arses. They are probably receiving more in government assistance than they can earn in the field.

So they are 'undocumented' workers and not illegals because that would be an inconvenient fact.
The bottom line is I will pay more for food to create higher paying jobs for Americans that are here legally than support a criminal illegal alien industry that exploits workers and creates low wages.

Is this the new topic for the next month or something? Did some all-powerful hand just wave around the public issuing some jedi-mind funk to release all the prior must-talk-about nonsense and throw this one front and center?

Is it because of America's history that we are hung up on the idea that field work equals slavery? There's no other reason not to pay workers real wages and treat them with respect.

We're hung up on it because American's don't like to do hot, dirty work. Never have.

I would never pick a Caucasian over a Mexican for hard labor.
Many would, but I know better.
