Them D*mn Mexicans....

So, the big issue this year is immigration and the amount of immigrants crossing the border into the U.S.

And I will agree, there needs to be something done about the rift-raft crossing the border into the U.S. ( And there needs to be some way to get rid of drug runners, the outlaws, the felons...and build a wall? They built a massive fence in Calais, France at the Chunnel to keep the illegals out. The illegals have torn the fence down...and the cops are there pepper spraying them...and they keep coming..)

But the question remains....how many actual U.S. Citizens are willing to do the work that they are now performing?

As many of you know, my family owns property in what is actual farming country. These are people who own dairy farms, have huge chicken operations, actually grow things such as wheat.

They can't get people in this country to work for them....and they pay above minimum wage.

The work they do is nasty, hot ( or cold depending on the season) work. The work is often 12-14 hours a day. ( Them cows are milked twice a day, everyday, 7 days a week. The cows don't take Sunday or Thanksgiving or Christmas off.)

They have tried to get high school kids in the summer to work for them, and this is a school Buna's size. The kids may last 2-4 weeks, and drag up. Work 7 days a week, and high school kids tend to quit....likewise, people with family do the same. Want to go to the kids football games, want to spend time with the family....they won't work 7 days...)

The people in the chicken industry pay fairly well, especially in the slaughter operation....but 40 hours a week of pulling chicken guts is a smelly, nasty job.

You want one of these jobs? I can hook you...now if I get you a position cutting chicken gizzards up, don't quit after 6 weeks because all you smell now 7 days a week 24 hours a day is chicken giblets...if I get you the job, now don't quit in a week, because I'll get on this blog name you, and tell what a sorry ass individual you are...

The complaints about immigration have been around since this was America....

In the 1840s it was the damn Irish. ( Remember I taught you NINA? No Irish Need Apply.) They just KNEW the death of this country would be the damn Irish.( Damn Mick bastards....wait...)

Then it was the Chinese.

Then it was the Italians.( The racist slang WOP came from the Italians coming to the USA without papers....WITH OUT PAPERS...WOP was written on their cards when they entered.)

It reminds me of the " South Park" episode in which a group of workers are all upset because " They're taking our JERBS!"

I know the mantra now is stop immigration , but in reality, it is not. Mr. Trump knows it is not. He's saying the right things now...he's playing politics.
