Hoe, Hoe, Hoe, Hell No?
I am sick and tired of what I think is a specious argument by the “Movement to Legalize Illegal Aliens”. The main argument they give is that “Migrant Workers” do the jobs that average American will not do. You know what, that is such bull that it sickens me.
The implication is that Americans are so lazy that we would not be willing to do the work that a Mexican, here illegally, will do. Are we as Americans that lazy? I do not think so. I think that if all the illegals went away, the jobs would still be done but maybe at a higher wage. This would cause a mild inflation, but I could live with that.
Of course we all know what “they” are talking about. They think that American would not flock to the field to pick crops. I think that is wrong. I think that there are a lot of people that would if the wage were fair and the conditions right. I think that we as Americans have done it before, we can do it again, and to hell with the “migrant illegal workers”. Tell you what, if the food flow slowed down, you can bet there would be people out in the fields.
Here is another fun one… your gardener. Usually these lawn services are a group of illegal aliens with really no experience taking care of your lawn and grounds. What would happen if they went away? Well, when I was growing up I used to do the lawns of about 8 of my neighbors. I had my own mower, edger, and even blower. I would tend the lawns of all these neighbors in one afternoon, and when I was done I had a ton of cash for having fun. Not only that, it helped me stay in shape, I was not sitting on my fat ass playing Atari. Maybe some of our youth could benefit from such a situation.
How about the nanny situation. If all the migrants went away I guess that we would all have to look after our own children. I guess that parents would have to take more responsibility for their children and pay more attention to them. Hmm… would that be such a bad thing?
So many jobs, so many situations, and with the vacuum of illegal aliens the voids would work themselves out one way or another and this country would run and thrive, maybe better than before, maybe more efficiently, and maybe with more pride.
Let’s face it, this country has to run, and while it would be a hard transition while all the illegal aliens just went away, the country would run, and the jobs would get done. Americans have done it before, we can do it again. We are not dependant on illegal immigrants to do things. It is the height of absurdity to think otherwise.
