@TFF, we gotta have our iPhones, even if we’re picking crops.

CDN_Rebel, likely both of you are right.

Americans are not good at leading cost-efficient lifestyles.

@zebra69 So apparently your contention is that ‘illegals’ can live very well on much less than minimum wage all the while saving to be farmers, while Americans can’t scrape by at all on minimum wage and have no future. Did you really think this through or do you listen to THAT much AM talk radio?

“Why Americans won’t do dirty jobs” fails to report is how these people, /illegal/, either send this money home, to buy up land and cattle for the future. Or save to go home in the future to buy land and cattle.
Which will make them a very nice life.

While Americans who do this sort of work, will never be able to go and buy, land and cattle, on a minimum wage. Might be lucky to just buy FOOD.

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

And know one ever seems to state it…..
