Finally, Someone Lets Americans Get Jobs Illegals Take

By mcbride

Arturo Rodriguez, the president of the United Farm Workers of America, is tired of hearing that illegal immigrants take jobs that legal citizens would otherwise take.  So, together with comedian Stephen Colbert, he is asking legal US citizens, including right wing pundits and elected officials in DC, to take the open farmworker jobs.  ?First, dress appropriately. During summer, when the harvest is in full swing in California’s Central Valley, temperatures hover in the triple digits. Second, expect long days. Growers have a small window to pick fruit before it is overripe. And third, don’t count on a big paycheck. Farmworkers are excluded from federal overtime provisions, and small farms don’t have to pay minimum wage.?

If interested, fill out the application at www.takeourjobs.org .  I cannot wait to see who applies.
