that American citizens arent supposed to do...........
I roto-tilled my front yard, raked it......fertilized it.......leveled it.......
and sodded it............and all without the help of an illegal..............ya know..........one of those jobs us gringos wont do.................for a wage we wont accept...................Now I will admit that my son also helpe but I fed him all the pizza he could eat................
Did I mention we hit 95.................with a hot south breeze and for those of you who know Oklahoma.......that was a tuff day................
Just sayin
Good work. Just make sure that sod gets a ton of water, especially now that it's starting to get hot...it's hard to over-water sod. We wouldn't want that good ol' American craftsmanship to go to waste, now would we?
Bravo! I did a ton of landscaping work over the weekend on my parents' house. Cutting down some very overgrown bushes and small trees, mulching it up, all in the hot L.A. sun.
SERIOUS manual labor, without the need for Manuel.
It was a lot of hard work, but very rewarding, especially since I didn't pick up a couple of illegals from the local Home Depot and pay them $10+ per hour.
Where do they get the idea that all Americans have illegals doing their domestic chores. Ive always done my own yard work and house work or givin my kids a modest allowance to do chores and so has everyone ive ever known.
My husband tore up 13 panels of our sidewalk (we have a corner lot), poured and leveled concrete, all with the help of one friend.
His friend was paid with a lovely steak dinner and a few ice cold glasses of lemonade!!! I would have helped, but I am in early stages of pregnancy and my husband will not let me do any hard work!
A little twist on things, in Junior high and High School, I used to pay to go to Mexico and build homes! So I paid to go somewhere and do hard labor!!!! How is that for backwards!
I have to say there's really something about digging your fingers into your own dirt and seeing the results of your efforts sprout and bloom before your eyes.
I pity people who are "above" that, and who deprive themselves of that organic feeling, substituting it with a sterile, synthetic "isn't that pretty" gazing out the window of their mcmansion...
Now go pick some lettuce and clean some public toilets.
"Picking lettuce" is a good example of work Americans won't do...but "Cleaning toilets" isn't. Lots of people do that. Antonio Villaraigosa claims to clean "our" toilets....and he's not only a legal American, he's the mayor of Los Angeles...
(Actually, the mayor didn't say "I clean your toilets"....as I recall, he said "WE clean your toilets".....by 'we', I'm not sure whether he meant his fellow big-city mayors, his office staff, or the members of his country club....but I do remember him saying "WE CLEAN YOUR TOILETS", to thunderous applause...so I guess the illegals don't do ALL the 'grunt work'.....)
Now go pick some lettuce and clean some public toilets.
Soon technology will replace the illegal farm hands...GOOD RIDDANCE. As for cleaning public toilets, we should have our prisoners do that. Or keep the illegals doing it as it is what they do best and can actually handle.
Americans definitely should pick their own fruits and vegetables, considering the illegals picking our fruit and vegetables don't wash their hands after urinating and defecating in those same fields and on the crops they are picking...and you wonder why there are reports today of tomatoes causing a huge salmonella outbreak...and e coli on the lettuce and spinach.
It would blow your mind if you knew of the diseases that our forefathers eradicated that are running rampant throughout the third world (and being brought back to the US by these illegals).
