My mind is willing, but my body sure isn't.
There is no shame in doing hard manual labor.
"Hard work wont kill you", is what my mother always said, i think all youth should have to experience it to help build their character.
Think about it and be honest with yourself.
If you are or were (Lord forbid) unemployed, are you willing to meet the challenge?
Immigrant farm workers' challenge: Take our jobs - Yahoo! News
I am unemployed and I am NOT willing to meet the challenge. My excuse? I have a bad back and there is no way I could survive a day hunched over tomato plants picking tomatoes all day long in the heat, let alone an entire season. That is not even an excuse, it is the truth.
But then I am not one who bitches all day long about illegals taking my jobs either.
I believe that illegals come here illegally because we maintain ridiculously low immigration numbers, we want to pay ridiculously low wages for manual labor, illegals are willing to accept those ridiculously low wages and we can get away with hiring them under the table to provide that labor for us.
No, I am not willing to meet that challenge.
Are you?

Hmmm? Ever go to a grocery store and see any vegetable.....ANY.... that doesn't say "Made in Mexico" or some other Latin American country?
Less than 1% of the people in the US are employed on farms picking vegetables. The truth is Mexicans who sneak in laugh at those jobs and say "Let the ******* do that" and flood large cities like Chicago where they can get LA RAZA to force employers to pay day layborers $13/hr.
Don't believe all the propaganda. Those monkeys want $50,000 SUVs and cable and they will kill Americans to get them.
I don't know where you got that information and I am not saying you are wrong in regards to some illegals, but I can tell you that in many farming communities here in Florida, there are people living in deplorable conditions just trying to survive picking tomatoes and strawberries.
I for one, would not subject myself to those conditions.

Imagine what an African would think. LOOK!......FOOD!..... WATER!......
I have no sympathy for those who overpopulate their own countries then expect Americans to feed their lazy rat-breeding asses! Mexicans want to live like Americans without doing the 500 years of work it took.
Kind of like you, huh?
Indeed. Before I joined the service, I was a construction laborer.My mind is willing, but my body sure isn't.

If it was the only work available, and I had to feed my family, yes, I would do farm labor.
A related question: Why aren't we making able-bodied welfare recipients work for their handouts?
What agricultural jobs do these workers do that won't eventually be replaced by machines? IMO, we need to continue to innovate the technology in that area... Which won't happen while we have all this cheap labor...

'Just curious... are you willing to meet the challenge?'
Are people even aware that these field jobs are done by LEGAL immigrants??? They are brought here by the Agriculture Department. Many are seasonal workers who have been doing these jobs since forever! What challenge???? Are people even aware that way back when it WAS americans who picked the veggies, fruits, cotton??? But as americans became more educated, the field work was left to those who did not go on to better themselves and to the poor, uneducated from south of the border....has anybody heard of the H2A Nonimmigrant visa?

That's true...some people want handouts for free. Asking them to earn them is racist.Indeed. Before I joined the service, I was a construction laborer.My mind is willing, but my body sure isn't.

Most of them are black--It wouldn't be fair.

It's easier for some to think that, if we get rid of illegals, we'll pay $10 for a head of lettuce.
The field owner is going to pay me the same wage as any other picker.... $X per bucket/bushel
Interesting that people brought up race in this thread.
I wonder why?

If that were the case, then we would not be having the discussion we are having in regards to illegal immigration. We would not be discussing thousands of undocumented aliens streaming across the borders of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you Angel, there are illegal aliens working in our fields and we encourage it.
