Do you really think that Americans are going to do the work that Mexicans are unwilling to do? Mexico is more likely to start a guest worker program that utilizes Chinese preasant. I read the local Spanish language newspapers, and the Mexicans who came here to work in the fields really don't want to do that kind of work. They complain about how the sun is too hot and there's no shade except for the guy who tallies their boxes of produce that they picked and they want *ice water* to drink. There are agencies here in the valley that are working to get the Mexicans out of the fields and into service sector jobs. A Mexican can get job training, one free month's rent every year and he can get his utility bills paid once a year. Mass hirings of farm labor occur at the employment development department, which is in the same building as the welfare office and the job training office and the probation department. Every Mexican in the valley will have business at one of those agencies at least once a year. Recently, there was a big freeze and California fruit growers lost $0.75 billion in citrus. The governor waived the 2-week waiting period for unemployment compensation, the welfare agency stepped in and paid the Mexicans' rent and utility bills, and growers rotated their "best workers" by giving the most senior wetbacks one or two days work in the packing houses every week so they wouldn't go back to Mexico. Then the weather suddenly changed. It was no longer freezing, it was like spring. The Mexicans took their unemployment and welfare checks and bought beef to barbecue and cerveza to guzzle. There was a fiesta in every city park, with mariachi music and pinatas and all the unemplyed Mexicans in their straw hats and guayaberas and cowboy boots were having a grand old family reunion with all their relatives and friends and it wouldn't be Cinco de Mayo for another three months! The real unemployment rate in this county stands around 16% and jobs are few and far between. The welfare agency advertised that they would give any meat cutter a free bus ticket to Iowa so they could get work there. Then Foster Farms started putting up billboards in Mexico saying to come to the USA and work for them. Foster Farms hires temporary meat cutters through temporary agencies run by Mexicans. To qualify, an applicant has to be a "good worker" who has been employed steadily. IOW, he has to be a Mexican who has been willing to work for low pay without complaining. The Spanish language newspapers talk about the plight of the "poor workers", as in what are the "poor workers" going to do now? In the Mexican mind, all workers are Mexicans, being oppressed by the Anglos. But the contractors that supply Mexican labor to the Anglo growers are Mexicans, too, they are coyotes taking advantage of their own people. The contractors and the growers know that 80% of their work force are illegal aliens and they complain that they will be driven out of business if they lose their "best workers". In the meantime, the growers are living in 20-room mansions and driving huge diesel-powered dualie pickup trucks to tow their travel trailers and boats to the RV campgrounds and the lakes. And there is still a class of unemployed impoverished Americans living in squalor in little towns where there is no work at all for White people. |

No but we may be able to do work that they can't buy in Mexico and with American ambition. Today the hoops you must jump to work or operate a business in Mexico is pure extortion. If what is good for the goose should be good for the gander. I say no immigration deals until Mexico opens their society to us also. |

The sooner they realize that individual Americans open more businesses than they could ever dream of, thus keeping Mexican men employed in their own country.... I've worked in Mexico on dozens of gigs. All of them paid for by either grants from the US, US companies wanting maquiladora management/advice or colleges and universities. All paid for from the US except for one who was billed by my US contact in Dollars and paid to me in Dollars but I was under a FM3, which took some doing to get. |

My grandparents are/were Mexican citizens, but my parents and I couldn't actually inherit property from them and own it outright, at least that's what I've been told. It stayed with the Mexican branch of the family due to Mexican law, even though my dad was the oldest son. Jessica R. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

> Mexico doesn't want stupid people. True. Mexico has more stupid people than it can ever possibly use, so the Mexican government sends them to the USA where they take advantage of the generosity of Real Americans. Real Americans are so dumb, they give and give and give, until they hurt themselves and other innocent Real Americans with their misguided charity. |
