A group of Mexican farm workers are offering to let any one take one of his/her jobs since so many people are saying how Mexicans are taking away from American employment. So far, many people have tried it, and only two have stayed permanently.

Doing the job isn't always the hard part, doing the job for dirt cheap is.

Make it take a mexicans job and send him packing back over the border and I'm sure they'd get a lot more traffic.

what would happen if I strolled over the canadian border and tried to get a cheap job in BC without any documentation???

Pretty good concept I guess but in reality, no one can handle a lawnmower like a mexican. They're bred to do such tasks.

I just gave them my info. I honestly would love any sort of job right now. And manual labor isn't that bad. I worked on a tree farm this winter in the snow/rain/cold etc, and it was actually bearable.

If you had a buddy to help you out it wouldn't be that hard at all as long as you stayed out of trouble. My old boss went and lived illegally with a buddy up in Whistler for a whole season, grabbed some random odd jobs here and there, and did just fine for himself. He got busted with weed though and kicked out, and now he can't go back for 5 years. I know another guy who stayed up there illegally for so long that eventually he got legal somehow and now he's living the dream, he works for some company that reupholsters log cabins, gets payed bank, and has his own sleds.

I guess you can't go to Canada anymore if you have a DUI for a certain amount of time, which is absolutely ridiculous.

As a British citizen I can live and work in Canada because of the commonwealth right? Or is that wrong?

Well yeah, obviously you just get under the table jobs. I'm an American citizen and probably half my jobs here in America were under the table, so it really isn't that unplausible.

As for the British thing, there are certain perks that come with British citizenship, such as the ability to live and work in European countries. So I could go get a job in Italy and start living and working there I'm pretty sure because of British citizenship. I think that also extends to some of the old commonwealth countries but I'm not sure if Canada is one of those.

You know the Canada-England thing was indeed wrong. Although I think it might make it easier to get a VISA because on the website for getting one there is like a specific form just for British citizens.

I'm saying that if I traded with an illegal right now, I could do their job and they couldn't do mine. And I've worked numerous jobs with heavy machinery, yard work and every other shit job besides food service. Don't even start to assume anything about me.

Everyone thinks it's so hard to do manual labor every day. I think it's much harder to work with people than dig all day. I've done both and I taught myself my trades by buying a camera, buying a computer and reading. Not many people can do that.

THIS! Manual labor is easy as hell and makes you feel accomplished at the end of a job.

I make more money. I worked to where I am now. Why are you trying to argue with me? I don't even know what point you're trying to get across.

That's your opinion. I posted mine. Neither is right nor wrong. Immigration is right up there with religion and politics in terms of shitstorms so no matter what is said, someone will have an opinion on it. And I'm done discussing this.

in the nicest way possible... youre not as special as you seem to think from this post. plenty of people can do that, and i hope youre not trying to tell me that a mexican, given your life and opportuntities, couldnt do that. and face it, given the choice you would obviously do the job you have now for the rest of your life instead of manual labor

this campaign is fucking stupid. Only dumb ass rednecks complain about mexicans taking there jobs. All we are pissed about is the fact that they are here illegally which causes a large amount of problems.

Become legal, then work on the farms or GTFO

And the farmers who hire the illegals are just as much at fault if not more than the mexicans.

If i wave a piece of cheese in front of a dog it will try and get the cheese if you wave a really low paying job in front of a mexican he/she will try and get the job.

Im not comparing mexicans to dogs just getting my point acrossed. You cant fault someone for wanting something better for there children or themselves and believe it or not $4.00 an hour is better for them.
