Today, I just happened to stumble across a website that, I do think, was meant to be a sarcastic slap in the face towards Americans against illegal immigrants, but I happen to find it refreshing.
The site is called TAKEOURJOBS.ORG and features somber photographs of immigrant farm workers, a sign up to take their jobs from them, and a short description of what their job includes as stated below:
"** Job may include using hand tools such as knives, hoes, shovels, etc. Duties may include tilling the soil, transplanting, weeding, thinning, picking, cutting, sorting & packing of harvested produce. May set up & operate irrigation equip. Work is performed outside in all weather conditions (Summertime 90+ degree weather) & is physically demanding requiring workers to bend, stoop, lift & carry up to 50 lbs on a regular basis."
This site goes on to suggest that we are all nieve in not knowing that without the high rate of immigrant workers on American farms, we would go without food.
This would suggest that Americans are unable to supply farm owners with the physical work that they do. This also goes along with the old defense that illegals only have the jobs that we as Americans, do not want.
The website also links to their own fan page on Facebook.com. (http://www.facebook.com/unitedfarmworkers)
which lists all of the immigrant deaths of working on farms in America, a spot to donate to the cause and the quote, "Keep up with the Farm Worker Movement!
By joining the UFW fan page you can make a difference for farmworkers and help keep Cesar Chavez' dream alive by taking part in critical campaigns."
I suppose we are sorry citizens if we do not feel for these farm hands and appriciate their ultimate sacrifice dying all over our produce (bet ya scrub it well, now) but I ask you to look at it this way;
What American job is there that workers do not die? Our soldiers fighting everyday to protect our freedoms, our officers that risk their lives daily to keep all of us safe, our school teachers that never know what day a child may come in with a chip on their shoulder and a loaded gun, or how about every hard working American that was in the Twin Towers or on a plane when terrorists decided that our demise was all in a day's work....and to think, we even have to pay taxes out of those paychecks.
So why is it that these illegals are so willing to act in a smug manner and offer our own American jobs back to us???? That is simple. If they get laid off, all they have to do is report it to their caseworker and in no time their welfare and food stamps will increase when they go to their U.S. P.O. Boxes to pick them up on their way across the border...It is a win win for them.
So I ask you this....If you are without a job, or know someone that is; PLEASE visit TAKEOURJOBS.ORG and snag a job!!! Let this pathetic ploy backfire on these illegal economic terrorists.
Where does this farm worker live?There are thousands in my(county) that doesn't work.I worked two jobs five days a week.And a third on the weekend,just to make ends meet.Ever afternoon we would pass 5 or 6 houses with ten or more illegals drinking, playing socer,and cooking on the grill.
ReplyDeleteIf they are illegal... send them home!!
ReplyDeleteMy ancestory includes Italian immigrants, but they became legal citizens of our great nation.
There are millions of illegals, in America, that are in line for a handout at the taxpayer's expense. And we set back and wonder why our school funding is getting cut and why we have a defecit...
