Well, who would have thunk it….Me agreeing with Mr. Navarrette…American citizens do not want to pick strawberries…He is absolutely correct…We don’t like hard work….strawberries, chilies, onions, apples, any work for field hands we do not like….We are so thankful for the Mexican citizens or anyone else who is willing to do those jobs….Only thing, they need to come through the door legally…have green cards…If we need to revamp the system to let more through, then lets do it…I worked with some Mexican green card holders at the potash mines in Carlsbad, NM years ago….they were hard workers, fun loving, easy going, friendly and God fearing…they are a special people…But they got to have a green card Mr. Navarrette….otherwise they are law breakers….I don’t want to pick strawberries either and will not as long as there is another way to put food on the table…Let’s keep plenty of workers in the USA legally so we don’t have to….



So! American citizens do not want to pick strawberries! If they don’t, then I say let them starve. Making the excuse that America needs illegal laborers simply because Americans are too lazy and obese to work is a poor excuse for letting people enter this country illegally. One has only to watch the telecast of a typical football game this season to see obese, lazy Americans in their padded stadium seats cheering from a resting position because of an inability to get our of their padded chairs. It already looks like Rome at the coliseum in the latter period of its days of glory. America is already there when it must bring in our own version of slaves from south of the border to harvest our strawberries. I prefer to harvest my own simply because I do not trust the Mexicans or corporate agriculture to do it for me. I say to Americans, “If you want salmanella, then go ahead and encourage Mexicans and corporate agriculture to harvest all of your produce.” It is as simple as that. If you don’t want salmanella, do it yourself.
When strawberries (or whatever) are ready they need to be picked. When our citizen will not do it we need someone who will. We need legal entry for migrant farm work who will work.
What we really need is Americans who will work rather Anglo, Espanic, Asian, or Native American, including Indian and Muslim. It seems that, as soon as any race or ethnic group becomes American citizens, they all demand a high paying job with a PC on their desk, with a padded chair; so they can surf the internet. I am afraid that America peaked in the Fifties with the so-called “Greatest Generation”. It has lost its work ethic. It has lost its religious faith. America is doomed.
You are right…No one, repeat, no one wants to pick cotton or any other products from
the fields….When American workers start picking cost will go up considerably…Count on it.
