La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for July 12, 2010

Hey, if the illegals will do the work our lazy slobs won’t, well, let them.

I prefer the 3 am crop picking to serving bacon wrapped hot dogs to drunken club goers. Much less messy.

Hey Lalo! The list of jobs can have a few more additions!

Fresh oranges at the freeway exit

Flowers at same place

Cut mixed fruit served daily in a container at an intersection

Wave-a-sign at the nearest corner

Selling “paletas” while pushing a cart (Just like Taco cart Guy)

and on and on, Oh, I think you get the picture by now. And remember, those are jobs that are offered with no health insurance, no vacations, no pension plans, no “Golden Parachute” or any of the so called benefits we are so much used to (For some people at least)

any of you “No illegals in my backyards” out there interested? or maybe it is better that the trickle measly taxes the “Illegals” pay towards your “Legally here” people’s retirement funds and/or benefits are better than none (Responses, Please!)

McCain: You people wouldn’t pick lettuce if I paid you $50 an hour…

Buncha people: - Hands go up - Me! Me! I’ll do it!!

(Of course lettuce pickers don’t make that. And raising the minimum wage is a dirty commie plot against America.)

Some pick produce for farm labor wages Some transplant hearts for six figures Well DIRTYDRAGON, you want them to switch jobs? Did the picker train for 20 years? Did it take ten years to pay the pickers student loan? Does he do Pro Bono picking? Does the picker or the doctor put in 100+hours? Who’s taxes pay for social services? What communist would suggest they receive equal pay?

Which do you think belongs to a union? Like in the worst worker gets paid the same as the best worker.

It the employers who illegally hire the illegal immigrants that are 99% of the total problem. Prosecute the employers and 99% of the problem disappears. It is the only option that has any chance of working and it is the least discussed option. Most of the discussion on illegal immigrants is just political grandstanding, racism and xenophobia in a very poor disguise. Most of the employers who are breaking the labor laws and driving down the wages are U.S. citizens who vote. That is why politicians will rant and rave against the illegal immigrants but will not make a peep about the employers of illegal immigrants. For the average citizen racism and xenophobia is keeping them from seeing that when the employers hire illegal immigrants it is depressing the wages paid to other U.S. citizens who do want to work but want to work for a decent wage

What’s your point, Lew?

@lewreader;

To answer some of what I think you already know!

Yes! the poor (illegals/undocumented) have A LIFETIME POVERTY TRAINING

Yes! The poor (illegals/undocumented) have A LIFETIME IN SUFFERING FROM HUNGER training (not just ten years)

Yes! many of them have to get a low pay job to be able to pay the(very high price) they have to agree to be smuggled to a strange land full of (I am better than thou) hypocrites that care only to keep overeating until the drop dead of obese people illnesses

and Yes! we/they do pro-bono work and do not trumpet it up so others can see how “much good we do” or claim it as a tax deductions which the “All Illegals” are not in a position to take advantage of

Yes! so many undocumented workers have two or sometimes three jobs (you tally the hours!)

No! undocumented workers have no inkling of how much a Doctor or nurse get paid, so there, they are just happy to make minimum wages at least (or even less)

And Yes! Illegals pay taxes Too! every time they buy gasoline, cars, furniture and you name it, except, they are not fully entitled the “benefits” those taxes pay for other than ride on the same streets that the “Legals” use in their newer model cars, they just quietly live and die in anonymity and do not expect you to shed a tear for them THINK ABOUT IT!

And lastly, if anybody ever need some assistance if you are down on the ground? (do you think the guys that trained for 20 years are going to stop and help you) GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!, and you bet some “Illegal” at least will try to comfort you or give you some water to drink since that could be all He could afford and you will not have to show you have medical insurance

Thank you lewreader, you have made me fell so much better to allow me to get it out of my chest

@lewreader

I almost forgot, yes the doctors have a union too! (a very rich union at that)

It is called the A. M. A. and yes, they are protected by their union just check it out and see for yourself

If only the U F M could pull the strings the A M A does!

Wow!

(sorry about the U F W gaffe! I did not mean the

Unidos Farmers Mexicanos)

It was to mean the United Farm Workers, A noble human rights Organization that helps without asking you questions

well played UFW

cleaning the grease traps at mcd’s at 2am i worked there 1 day they’re still there, cleaning them

I’m a union guy and I have no problem with people getting paid the same amount for the same work. I don’t worry about what the next man is getting paid as long as I get a fair wage I’m happy. Stop worrying what kind of car your neighbor has parked in his garage.
