64. Guess what, there are jobs Puerto Ricans won't do!
Before you flame me, hear me out. I was talking to a farmer and he was reminiscing about what good workers the Puerto Ricans used to be before they got fed up with the low wages and left. Now he hires Mexicans. He's not a bad guy, he's from immigrant stock himself and he's barely above water trying to sell his crop to the big grocery store chains. I've seen the way they squeeze him to the penny for his produce. Think about that the next time you're in the grocery store.
