NC has a high unemployment rate that teters between 9-10%. Because of recent legislation in neighboring states to be stricter on immigrants and illegal immigration, the number of working immigrants has fallen in NC... to the point that we have an agricultural labor shortage.

So why do we have a labor shortage in the fields when we have a high unemployment rate? Most Americans do not want to pull tobbacco, pick cucumbers and peppers, or do any of the other menial jobs that immigrants do. The jobs are there, the labor is not.

Read a history book or the Grapes of Wrath...in the 1930s people could not find work, so they migrated to California or elsewhere to do hard agricultural work...pick peaches, cotton, etc.

The US has abandoned those jobs to immigrants...their being here contributes little to the unemploymnet or employment of most average Americans. They do jobs no one else wants.

So...to the unemployed...come to NC and you can work now pulling late fields of tobbacco and peppers... then harvest Christmas Trees in the mtns of NC...then it will be time to plant way down east for potatoes and cabbages and broccoli and then tobbacco season will be here again....lots of work here.

Besides...to all my co-conservatives. Why would we not want Hispanics to come to America...they are a hard working people, very family oriented, good God loving people...and they aspire to have a good life and will work for it...sounds like the American way to me.

Here's some more kindergarten logic, and I hope it sinks your country. I am embarrassed to call myself a citizen, and I regret that I served in the U.S. military.

I've instructed my wife to quit bringing her money into the country. It seems no one appreciates her contribution into the social systems. I personally quit earning any taxable income several months ago and went on the VA dole. I have been eligible for VA benefits since retiring from the military, but had been working anyway. I shifted my savings into the lowest income earning instruments I could find, and outside of U.S. control. I don't plan to earn any taxable money until I feel I've taken my share of the free stuff.
