How long are the lines of those looking for jobs at the farms in the U.S.?

Question

If these jobs are taken by illegals, then why are there no signs of protesters on or near these farms?

Answer 1

Why would you protest for someone working for their money..Plus they are the only ones that want to do the job. If it wasn't for them who would do it? would you? I honestly think that protest against illegals is stupid. They get the jobs that us americans don't want to do..So let those who want to do it!

Answer 2

The farms you are talking about are in the middle of absolutely no where.  Further... the American Citizens who usually do those jobs are not kids in an urban area driving a hot car with spending money in their pocket... they tend to be lower middle class and they are in that job because it is about all they can do.  

At the same time, many like to do those jobs.  I have four degrees of varying levels, and I frequently made excellent money in the summer picking, plowing and herding.

The fact is.. the growers don't offer any money.  There is no point in going out there and taking the jobs away from the illegal aliens.  But if the Border Patrol removes the illegal aliens, the American Citizens are offered a living wage, and they do well as they pay taxes and contribute to our society.

Finally, if the growers want ag workers, they can get them through the Human Resources Department.  They have not used them in so many years, that whole area has to be developed, but give it time, and it will work itself out.

==========================

Folks.. a potato grown in Mexico costs a nickel.  A potato grown in Idaho now costs about a dollar.  Mexico has a LOT of labor... and no subsidies.  The United States has trillion dollar agricultural subsidies over four year periods.  

This country cannot afford American Agriculture.

Answer 3

Actually,when the swift meat plants were raided,and the illegals were gone,citizens filled those jobs quickly. As for the agriculture jobs,people get work visas and fill those jobs as soon as they become available.

Answer 4

I don't understand.  Did you see someone complain that a farm job they wanted was taken or something??  I kind of doubt that. And why would someone protest a farm, that' pointless. Protesting is lame,  pointless and gets nothing done, that's why it's the pro-illegals that do that.

Answer 5

Because the jobs the illegals lower the wages of are not farm jobs, they are construction, auto, gardeners, factory etc.  

Shocking simple concept, isn't it.

You do realize the majority of those 20 million + illegals don't work on farms..........don't you?  How many farms does Los Angles city have?  And yet look at the huge influx of illegals. How odd ; )

pwned.
