Default Immigration by the numbers

That's NOT a sincere offer for employment, it's actually the Mexicans
bragging about how macho they are to survive working in the fields
under the blazing sun all day.

I corrected their statement to read:

"Mexican farm workers are ready to train citizens and legal residents
who wish to replace them in the field..."

Yeah, right. Since when has *any* journeyman worker in any kind of
work been willing to train his own replacement?

Speaking as somebody who has lived around Mexicans for over half a
century and who knows who Mexicans think and act towards other ethnic
groups, I know that a Mexican crew would run a White American field
worker off the job the first day and think that it was all a big joke.

And this business about the AgJobs bill that has been proposed is
ridiculous. The USA is supposed to just *give* citizenship to any
illegal alien farm worker who can prove he's worked 120 days in farm
work in the last 2 years?

That's utter bull****!

No other country would dream of offering citizenship to unskilled
immigrant workers, they want them to pick the crops and then *GO HOME*
afterwards.

Developed English-speaking nations like Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand want entrepreneurial types who bring high skills, lots of
education, lots of money and those who might be able to start a
national sports team that would bring even more money into the
national treasury.

Even NYC mayor Bloomberg was on TV news the other day saying that
green cards should be given to foreign entrepreneurs who employ 10
Americans and that they could keep their green cards as long as they
kept the Americans employed.

My own ancestors who came to America in 1628 were entrepreneurial
types who came to Massachusetts after reading a prospectus written by
Captain John Smith (Pocahontas had hot pants for him) that said the
exploitation of New England would be worth about £600,000 sterling,
per annum, a figure that would be in the billions or even trillions of
$USD today.

They started their textile mills and iron works and became the biggest
industrial conglomerate in New England, employing tens of thousands of
workers.

Two of my ancestors were the richest men in North America by the time
of the Civil War, they would be right up there with Bill Gates in
wealth.

And that was before the era of robber barons like the Rockefellers and
Vanderbilts and J.P. Morgan, whose financial were driven by loand from
the international bankers in London, Paris, and Vienna.

If America is going to allow immigration, it's people of my ancestors'
ilk that we need, not some illegal alien border jumper!

OTOH, if we are going to allow wealthy entrepreneurs into the USA, we
don't want
people who looted the national treasury of the country they're fleeing
from.
