Whenever I hear those reich-wing mutants talking about how those "illegals" are taking jobs away from red-blooded 'Murkins I want to scream.
Americans are too lazy and spoiled to do the work these immigrants do. Most won't get out of bed for $15 hr., let alone do the dirty, back breaking labor these people do.
What's more, the republican owners of these companies court these workers, otherwise they'd have no one to work in the slaughter houses and meat packing jobs. They'd have no one to plant or pick crops, because red-blooded 'Murkins WILL NOT DO THOSE JOBS.
These people should be treated with a lot more dignity and respect by red-blooded 'Murkins, but they heap nothing but abuse and disdain upon them.

No shit. And it was piecework. You got paid by how how you picked, at least for fruit.
