Actually you are wrong. Farmers in the Central Valley tried to hire local Americans. They advertised and higher then normal rates.
Pay them more. It's not a matter of the work being too hard. It's a matter of the money.
Some showed up, lasted only a couple days. Sorry but the work is too hard for us, we just are not desperate enough it seems.
Again, raise the wages and people will show up and stay on the job. It isn't enough money for steady workers NOW.
And here's an original idea: Make WELFARE recipients work in those fields for regular wages are risk losing their benefits. Nothing will make those useless lazy asses grow a work ethic faster.
Now if the GOP gets its way, we could create a permanent underclass of peasants to do the work, isn't that the plan Trump?
Actually, that's the DEMOCRAT plan. Let these animals from all the shithole countries come here, become a permanent underclass, suck up our welfare dollars and illegal vote for Democrats.
Republicans (well, to be frank, CONSERVATIVE Republicans who aren't afraid of pissing off some ass sniffing special interest group) want the underclass to stay on the other side of the wall and let EDUCATED immigrants into the country. We have no problem with LEGAL immigration.
We DO have a problem with importing uneducated lazy non-English speaking idiots who wind up on welfare, commit crimes, bring in drugs, etc.
