And they don’t need union breaks.

Not lazy but all that hard work is likely not square, plumb, or level either. Lol.

… if someone’s watching them

They do real well at repetitous work, but if the job calls for a pivot in strategy, or thinking on their feet...."Prayers sent"... Lol.

Our economy would crash without them.

The last time I set door frames behind a Mexcan framing crew, a sledge hammer and a block of wood was necessary for the setting procedure. I think the lines popped on the floor for the bottom plate were just suggestions. Lol.

I hear you J Staton, Family owned a fairly large tomato farm here up until the late 90's. Worked a bunch of them over the years and they were dependable, hard working, worked fast, and handled the heat well.....Made the mistake one day of having some of the ones with building experience help out on building a tractor shed. Spent so much time going behind them it would have been faster to have done it with just the help of one half sober redneck, Lol.

BS!!! So they cut American labor, then get their wives to get signed up on Welfare Housing and Medical while we foot the Bill, then they use a stolen SSI number to get a Job then claim 15 dependents on their W-2's all year long paying no taxes or SSI because they cannot file anyway because their SSI number is stolen then they send over 500 MILLION a year back to their home country to their Families and relatives and you call that our economy would crash without them?? It would improve without them. The Tax payers spend more on them with their Government freebies than we do on what they spend here. Why do you think the woman interviewed in Florida that was fired for being working Illegally here was crying and wailing claiming that her Familkies in Mexico were depending on the money she was sending weekly. She too was working with a stolen SSI and getting welfare free housing and welfare. Yet her money was sent to Mexico. So the money she was spending here to improve our economy was tax paid money!! BC you amaze me with your leftist BS Comments!!!

Randell it would crash

A big sector of the ag economy sure would.

It would dip, but hunger makes folks do things they originally think they are to good for.

Maybe ag should pay more.

Then prices would go even higher.

Three decades of video games doesn't create good work ethic.

True. Hunger is the best motivator but we won't let anyone go hungry to make them work instead of sitting on their butt drawing gov't assistance. To make it worse, now we must have "equity of outcome," the communist version of equality of opportunity.

Yep

We wouldn't of lost our small farm communities so quickly without illegal labor propping up large farms.

That used to be true, but today's government, no matter which party is in charge, will not let people go hungry. Much easier to keep them fat and happy.

Theres no such thing as a free lunch. That's no longer true.
