[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5119836, member: 24302"] Working for UPS, tough job as it is, isn't the same as working out in a field all day stooped over picking crops. And no one is going to offer Americans that kind of money to pick crops. That's the point. You can't get Americans to do it unless you offer a lot of money, and no one will offer that kind of money because it would make produce prohibitively expensive. So as much as we all hate illegal immigration, we are very beholden to them to do such work. Used to deliver to a feedlot in Oklahoma that had 37,000 head of cattle. There were some mobile homes set up for the illegals right at the edge of the feedlot. After a good rain that lot smelled very much like a waste disposal plant. The feedlot would have had a difficult time operating without those people. And I never said no one would do it if offered enough money. My point, again, is there is work that isn't feasible to pay more and can't get enough citizens to do it at low pay so they have to turn to illegals. [/QUOTE]
