In a worse case scenerio, I would do what I had to do. Maybe not by choice but out of necessity.
Ditto be it working at McDonalds or the local motel chain as a maid
Of which by the way years ago when I lived in Colorado & kiddies were little I was a maid at that fancy Broadmoor Hotel..and the super rich are not super tippers..but it paid the rent

Same here.. hence the reason the illegals are leaving! American now have no choice but to take those jobs! But mark my words, when the economy improves and "better" jobs become available, they'll be back to take your place on the farm!

Exactly! which is why illegal aliens when they come to this country do so out of necessity. Yeah, let me leave my home, my family, everything that I know so I can go to a foreign country to earn minimal (if that at all) wage be mistreated and used (and in some cases abused) so I can be a cab driver, a farm hand helper, or clean toilets, so I can send some $$ to my family back home.
Now, MOST other people (of any nationality may I add before hand) instead of finding one of those jobs for minimal wage would rather go on Welfare, Public Housing, or any other govt assistance.
social democracy (as practiced in Europe) offers alot more for the middle class than unregulated capitalism ever will. it's incredible how one week everybody is blasting away at the outsourcing of jobs, yet the one way to prevent it (that has any kind of clout) gets bashed the next week.
so many people don't even know what socialism is, they're just taking Joe The Plumber's word for it...
You liberals talk a good game about being against outsourcing of jobs, yet do nothing and I mean NOTHING to get the illegals that are taking American jobs out of here. Pathetic.
Sending 100,000 jobs overseas is the same thing... so I guess you think outsourcing is a good thing? And I do not support illegal immigration at all... but I also know it would have been clamped down on a long time ago if big business didn't see it as a way to further exploit people for their own damn gain.
This so called liberal would like nothing better. Seems most illegals are leaving because they can't find work...If mowing lawns and picking corn is the job you seek, let me know and I'll hook you up!
Things HAVE changed Wiley!
Last week there was an INS raid and when they needed workers, more than a few American's showed up for them. Last snow storm I had, two guys from town were out of work shoveled for me... just making a living.
And people ARE returning. I had a friend (here legally) who moved back to Peru because the market is better in her field there. SAD times.
"in a perfect world"....
Not many people I know would do those types of jobs...these days! Especially NJians! I'm sure most farmers would prefer to do "the right thing" but most can't afford to pay employees on the books and most Americans need or want to work on the books so that they can get fired in june and claim unemployment benefits thru the summer months while they lounge at the Jersey Shore
Sadly the work ethic of America - esp the younger generation - leaves MUCH to be desired. I've loved watching the kids come out of college into my company - they expect the corner office and a company car on day one. It's like GET A GRIP. Never mind asking the *gasp* to do MANUAL LABOR.
Even snow shoveling, please, teens in my town would rather be home playing with the Wii.

I hear you, but no we are digging at the middle class, and once we erode the wealth of the rich, were on our way!!
