Both would be willing to be sent on a few hours notice halfway across the country to live under miserable conditions for a few weeks while working 12 or 14 hour days 7 days a week?

My cousins moved beyond that. They're extremely hard workers who made it a lifestyle, not just a "job."

Your move, BOS.

Your ducking. Would they accept jobs on a few hours notice that involved weeks half way across the country under miserable conditions?

From your testimony I would gather not.

I didn't duck at all. They worked their way up from ground level over decades and no longer have to submit to those kinds of terms.

Moderator cut: this is not the grammar/spelling forum, in case anyone is confused

By the way, it's spelled you're. It's a contraction.
So you agree they would not go. So why the malarkey citing them? That of course is the problem this outfit was fighting with the illegals.

Lots of Chinese and Vietnamese landscapers around here. Many of the Spanish speaking ones are Puerto Ricans and therefore Americans.

- 12-15K per year (for 16 years) PER KID to Educate the kids.
- SNAP (food stamps).
- Oh.....& Stolen SS Cards.


Each Asplundh employee is costing the rest of us (because of his family) 30-40K per year. So I don't give a rats *ss how much it costs to replace the Illegal Alien, since economically it makes sense to do so.....even if we have to pay someone 30-40K HIGHER than the Illegal Allien.

& it really isn't my problem HOW much Asplundh has to pay them. What IS my problem (& everyone else's problem) are the items in red above.

Likely untrue. These guys were working legally and getting paid legally and paying taxes.

The vast majority of the kids would be American Citizens and have every right to education.

Section 8 housing is not available to illegals and is practically unavailable to anyone who has not been here for close to 20 years.

If the male is well paid it is unlikely his family is getting much if any welfare.

The 40K per year is absurd. Perhaps 15K if they are working the system hard.
