Did it when I was a kid...white half runners, tomatoes, cucumbers, cherries, etc.

Lots of kids doing the work, some adults, but no illegals in sight.

You need a link proving that most illegal aliens who have come here have been border jumpers? Surely you jest! Get back with me when there isn't anyone crossing our border illegally today also. As I said, you made the claim that they aren't so now you prove it! What point are you trying to make anyway? That border jumping is down to zero so we don't need border security? WTH?

Of course and so did I. Adults and kids living in rural areas still do it but the point is that it's still not a career job and only seasonal work thus the unlimited visas for legal, foreign pickers.

I actually obliged your request for at least some sort of source for my assertion. I guess the same is beneath you.

That's OK, I got you to quote Hillary, and that's just as good to me.

It is as many have said: these illegals take jobs that Americans would gladly perform, given half a chance.

Haha, yep. We can't even get a lot of Americans to show up to cushy jobs in the a/c, and they would wilt if they ever had to do the hard work in broiling sun, that our legal and illegal residents do every day of the week.

We ain't seen nuthin' yet. When Trumps trade war kicks in, we are all going to be paying more for everything. Can't wait until some of our cheerleading MAGA members start seeing their Yuge tax cut going to pay for bread and milk, and everything else that will cost more.

Exactly!

And I obliged you with some links also. What Hillary quote are you talking about? She's one of the last people on earth I'd purposely quote on anything and what point are you trying to make by it?

Here are some links about visa over stayers. They don't begin to compare to the number who merely jumped our border illegally.

First you said "well, the link doesn't work" and then you responded to mine saying "it doesn't download." As if there was a download. But I do see you've at least learned how to post links. Good on you, bub.
