I agree nearly 100%. But you can't get inovative with the purely mundane repetitious, manual crap. For that stuff - The nursing home work, the gardening, the farm labor, the septic tank suckers, the harvesting, etc., I say "Get the lazy American asses on their feet and do the grunt work "in-house".
If we don't get the work done cheap and in-house and you still want that work done or those products provided - Looks like we're buyin' Chinese lettuce.
If 80% of us are really opposed we wouldn't be in this situation. You may be doing your part, but, the vast majority of your counterparts are not. If they were, these supposed unwelcome guests wouldn't be here and there wouldn't be a line of additional boarder crossers right behind them.
Out-sourcing is killing the ecomomy, it's killing worker productivity, its killing the profits of those trying to do the right thing. Illegal Labor is nothing more than 'internal' out sourcing - Hell its probably even cheaper than outsourcing - There's no shipping cost, and, if we don't come to our senses soon it all goes to hell in a hand basket. All I'm saying is that this 80% oposition of yours is not guilt free. I'd be more inclined to say 80% of us are going about our business with blinders on. And now we want to blame the illegals - Its US my friend. Me, you, and your 80%. Wake up and smell the coffee.
