Topic	"But Americans don't want to do the same kind of work illegals will!"

The farmers will whine that they can't find Americans to do backbreaking, seasonal work in the middle of nowhere for $10 an hour and then pay illegals to do it for less than minimum wage. Weird, I just shared a story where people wouldn't do it even for 14.50 and the promise of making 16.00 soon Why do people expect to get paid so much for something children can do? $16 an hour is still a pretty shit wage for the working conditions. Add on that it's seasonal so you'd have to find something else to do for the rest of the year, and that unless you live nearby you're going to have a hell of a commute, and it's not something many people want to do. It's like any other job. If you can't find people willing to do the work (legally) for the amount you're paying, you aren't paying enough. --- "life is overrated" - Seiichi Omori 01001100 01010101 01000101 00100000 00110100 00110000 00110010 <cite>AlephZero posted [p:910290329] in "But ...
