Just direct me to who is paying the $50/hour.
From the video statement I saw McCain seems to be doing the hiring. I didn't know he had a lettuce farm.
Out of touch ? He's right. WTF are you talknig about. Americans have become as lazy as Europeans. We farm out all the hard work to immigrants who don't mind working hard. What is Obama's stance on illegal immigration ?
That is right "Arizona", and I also disagree, I know hundreds of people just looking for a job scrubbing toilets for $9.00/hr. I know Air Conditioning guys who work in hotter places such as Bullhead City/Lake Havasu who work in attics making 12-15/hr, in 130-150 degree attics. So that still doesn't let him off the hook for saying illegals should be allowed to work in the US without legal status. As long as he personally benefits from it, this will continue. In Arizona the republicans (or I should say, the true conservatives) have their panties in a twist over illegal immigration. This is one of those issues that I rarely agree with them on. Companies who knowingly hire illegals should be held accountable for hiring illegal aliens. If the CEO sees the threat of federal prison, then the company is less likely to engage in this activity. And If there are no jobs, there are no border crossings. Janet Napalatano, signed a bill that makes it illegal for companies to knowingly hire illegals. That is total bullshit, to say Americans don't want to do certain jobs. I know a lot of people willing to pick lettuce in a field in Yuma!
John McCain defends illegal immigration. Video: McCain Americans Wont Pick Lettuce for $50/hr Sensico Way to go John, you really show your true strips as an out of touch elitist asshole!
We don't farm out jobs, the corporations do! Average Americans are lucky to have a job in this economy.

Tell it to my son and his friends harvesting blueberries as they work their way through college.
They might be included to disagree.
FWIW, they're making $2.50 a bucket and if they're lucky enough to get a good rick, they might make $15.00 an hour.
If course if they get assigned a crappy rick, they might make less than half that, it all depends on the field.
John, McCain is a blithering asshole if he actually made that statement. (the vid isn't working for me).

Ok, so let's do this. Let's tighten the border and throw any illegal out that is working in landscaping, restaurants, housekeeping, trucking, factory work, laying carpet, construction, etc. But have a clear/open trail from mexico to the US that leads directly to our orchards and they can come in to do JUST THAT work, and no other work.
Because illegals are taking jobs American's will do. Working in a meat processing plant like Tyson Chicken is not a job American's won't do.
I think it is more that the business owners want the cheapest labor possible so they can maximize profits.
Too bad. Sorry. You gotta pay your employees well.
And FYI, I can't wait until American VP's and Directors that make $1 million a year start getting replaced by India and Chinese counterparts that only need $500K a year.
Not gonna happen? You are forgetting that India & China now own those companies. Yes they will replace white executives because they too want to maximize profits. Then we'll all be in the same boat, dummies.

Business owners hell---illegals come to a town and hire themselves out to do what they can make money at. Common Americans turn a blind eye and pay for their labor because it's cheaper. In Austin you can find an illegal to do nearly every kind of job that involves manual labor that you can think of.
Agreed--If "middle class" America would like to jump in and take up the slack they are free to do so. But look out--they may have to actually do physical labor.
Your son is one of the few left and I seriously doubt he intends to continue in the manual labor field after he gets his degree.

What does THAT have to do with anything?
Plenty of Americas work their asses off. PLENTY OF THEM.. and for a lot less than $50 an hour.
I am so sick and tired of the right wingers bashing the American workers, and anyone else that gets in the way of their lying bullshit, too.
What the fuck do most of these pampered lying sacks of human excrement, most who have never worked in the private sector really know about what it's like to be a working American, anyway?
If McCain made such a boneheadedly ignorant statement as that, I invite him to try making an honest living for a change, instead of sucking off the goverment like he's been doing his entire life.
You mean like Obama has ?
Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
How long has Obama been getting a goverment paycheck?
Compare that to McCain.
And remember, that O doesn't claim to be somebody who hates goverment like McCain does.
You idiotic Republican loyals are confused as hell, you know?
You really think the people you support are going to make government smaller when the vast majority of people you vote for made most of their their money sucking off your taxes.
the McCain family has been part of the government's military caste for THREE GENERATIONS!
Talk about intergenerational welfare families!

it's lovely up here, picking blueberries is a good job, not too hot out...
his child may not continue to do it, but i can guarantee you that his kids or even other adult Mainers will do the job happily...outside of our 3 main cities/towns, manual labor, is what most of the state KNOWS, and does...for their livings....
you're too citified!!!! lol
near every man here has rough, manual labor, hands and bodies...even if they teach or work in a hospital during the day, in the afternoon they are clearing trees to cut in to their firewood.....like i am living in the 1800's...it's lovely, refreshing, but hard lifestyle that i have grown to admire about mainers.
care
