Yes you're right Tom about the "imported labor" taking over the jobs. Government regulations keeping our children from working in the fields put a stop to this. Now we have illegal aliens doing all the farmwork. The children nowadays, due to these regulations, have lost work ethics. They don't know how to work nor do they want to work. Oh yes, they can go and flip hamburgers at McDonalds but what are they learning there? They still don't even know how to count change. They don't even learn how to slice tomatoes or onions,, they might cut themselves. So everything comes to the restaurant already sliced. "LIABILITY" is the nastiest word in our society.
Back when I was a kid, every kid was eager to do farmwork during the summer to make money for the next years school clothes and supplies. Now you can't hardly find kids to pick fruit or haul hay or do any other farmwork. Moms and Dads just hand them the money for whatever they need. Most of them have cell phones, cars and tatoos but no work. Who do you think pays those bills?
What a sad situation that we have to use imported illegal labor to do farmwork. It's because those imported laborors have a work ethics. It's because they were poor in their home country and learned how to work when they were a small child, in order for the family to survive.
But then when there's not farm work, we support them with a wealth of social services. So not only has our government spoiled our younger generation, they are also spoiling the imported labor. I guess if I lived in a place like Mexico I would come here too for all the freebies we will to give them.
A sad situation we have put our younger generation in.
