Lazy Americans -- Douglas ChickWe are a country of fat lazy Americans, even our pets are fat. Blaming the Mexican workers for unemployment and the economy is a tactic to divert blame from the real culprits. If we kick out all the Mexicans, Who will harvest our vegetables and shovel the earth, and toil the land?  Who will do all the hard work while others collect unemployment, in their government assisted homes with air conditioning? A Cuban may stay in America if he or she can reach and touch the soil. That is their only qualification, touch the land receive immediate government assistance. I’m not suggesting that Cubans do not contribute to this country, but it is pale in comparison to the labor of Mexicans. Mexican workers are an American resource.

I find it suspicious that high tech jobs, degreed, and manufactured jobs are allowed to be outsourced to China and India, but losing your ditch digging, and your fruit picking job, is an outrage. There is no greater opportunity in any other country in the world as there are in the United States. If your job is in jeopardy by a Mexican worker, then you did not take advantage to all the opportunities granted to you by being born in this great country.

Mexicans, Liberals, and Conservative are not the problem in this country. The problem is the lobbyist that convinces Washington to allow U.S jobs to be sent to China and India.

Ask your congressmen, “Where’s the Jobs!”

Summer time used to be so young students could work the farms. This taught them the value of a dollar and the value of manual labor. Since the age of twelve I always used the summers to work for money I could spend without question I think if kids today don't want to work and I don't mean in some t-shirt shop at the ocean front, they should not enjoy a summer away from school. After all as a student their job is to learn. Proper tariffs would keep the jobs here. why don't the upper management jobs get outsourced/

Not all of us are "fat, lazy Americans". Some of us want to work in our chosen field and have the way blocked to us. Let me explain, when I first started in the horse racing industry, I started at the bottom walking hots. I was at the barn everyday busting my butt to learn and do well for the trainer I worked for. I was called into the trainer's office one day and told that, while the quality of my work was excellent and my work ethic beyond reproach, they were letting me go because they could hire a Mexican to do the same job for less than half the cost. When I offered to cut my fee, the offer was countered with "Well, we could but he's not here legally and we can pay him cash without worrying about workman's comp like we would have to with you since you're protected by law since you're a citizen". I went to 15---once again 15---trainers before I found one willing to hire an American. I am now a liscensed trainer and, if you can't prove you're an American and can't speak English, you don't work for me. What are they going to do? Sue me for discrimination--they are ILLEGALS, they can't let the authorities know they are here. Don't say all of us are fat and lazy---some of us just have the bad luck to be American-born and refuse to work for $5 a day.

Obesity is a crisis in America. If you doubt this just look at kids. Families do not sit down and eat home cooked meals anymore. Junk food is the way now and take out.

I won't even touch the illegal immigrant issue. That subject gets me really fired up. They know how to get every free American dollar out there.
