4. Jobs?
Edited on Mon May-15-06 07:44 PM by patrice
Maybe Americans don't do immigrant Farm Workers' jobs because we're so urban, we don't live in the country where the farm work is. And what farms we have are factories. Maybe there should be Public Farms to make voluntary productive work for people on assistance. They could live and work on pulic truck farms - State Greens Grocers. Local fruits and vegetables.

Also: It isn't as though you can say "middle-class Americans don't mow the lawn, nor deliver the morning paper, or work at Target . . . or McDonalds" - ? - of course they do, so I think this issue could be a "red herring".

On Edit: Except to high tech workers/contractors.
