    Slim Pickings in Farm Labor Pool

    Tighter borders and construction jobs that pay better are at the root of a shortage of workers willing to toil in the Central Valley fields.

    These farmers get no sympathy from me. They had great reliable work forces called Americans. They shunned them for cheap migrant labor. They have created their own road to the bottom by copping out; cheating; lying; and undermining their farms, their reputations, their food quality, and everything America stands for.

    The farmer tells you he's spending $4,000 an acre in labor? So how much profit does he make an acre? His business problems are not our business problems. Pay Americans, the best workers in the world, a fair wage for the work and you will be staffed with legal workers doing a great job. Cheat, skim, roll the dice, deal with coyotes, deal with illegals, break the law, stand on your porch and "hope some labor shows up", this is NO WAY to run a business in the United States....and your farm is going down the tubes.

    No sympathy here either. My Niece, who is a college grad. has a job that pays $7.50 per hour.

    The only thing she is able to find is either, customer service or hotel work.

    The employers that go out and get cheap labor or outsource it, are ruining the country.

    Who do they think will buy their high priced items, if Americans only make minimum salaries? Cars are the prices of what a house used to cost!

    Maybe the illegals, getting paid under the table, of $10 an hr. will be able to purchase something...then it's good bye American...you're living in a shack.

    We've lost our industrial jobs, our inventiveness and our large employers send everything out of the country.

    Our own teenagers are complaining of not being able to get summer work, due to illegals.....

    If less violent prisoners can cut grass all around my Federal Prison, why can't they pick crops? The illegals are taking construction jobs, meat packing jobs, working in the hotel industry, in kitchens, etc.

    I for one do not want them touching my food if they have not had a physical!!!
    Do not vote for Party this year, vote for America and American workers!
