The illegals are willing to fill that gap. They, in general, aren't replacing american workers. The farmers can't get enough legal workers at any price. If you offer to work for someone cheaper than the going rate, they are likely to accept your offer and put the money towards the bottom line. > ><snip> > >/BAH -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

You can write this with a straight face and still claim there isn't employment problems. You have just told me that your food supply depends on a wages that are lower than the minimum wage. Do you not smell a little bit of stink here? /BAH |
