Back when Cesar Chavez was starting his farmworkers union the jew media all said the same: lettuce will be $5 a head and all that.
I don't eat lettuce I don't want their filthy hands and feces on my food period.

Yes, that's always been my point when people raise the "they do jobs that Americans won't do" argument.

The reality is, Americans don't want to work for subsistence wages. They can't afford to. White people will do any kind of work as long as they are paid a decent wage. But the business owners can find 3rd world people who are prepared to work for subsistence wages (because those wages are 10 times what they could make in their own 3rd world shit-holes), so their argument is couched in terms of "people don't want to work" instead of "I don't want to pay decent wages".

so their argument is couched in terms of "people don't want to work" instead of "I don't want to pay decent wages".

Capitalism at work, the Whites who sell their own blood all the way just for a few shekels more, that's capitalism another jew production.

Thank you! I was just having this conversation today with
someone, using the same example - lettuce. He made the
same old argument, that food prices would skyrocket. Some
people are just beyond hope, unfortunately.

You would think that nothing got done in the US before we
were blessed by the brown wave of humanity from the south.
Nobody ate, floors were filthy, lawns overgrown - it was
horrible!

The thinking is all wrong here. We need some good White engineers to build, and design, more efficient picking equipment.

I would rather have an oily machine, handling my lettuce, then some diseased mexicoon.

That arguement is not even worth discussing. In fact, they already have machines, that do most of the work.

That's what got em after your semi-skilled job.Lack of opportunities in farming.

Either way, just send em all back.

They are not needed, or wanted.

Have you heard the Mexican invader line that if we kick them out our produce prices would skyrocket?

A wetback can pick 4,000 heads of lettuce in a day.

They pay these wetbacks about $6 an hour give or take.

For an 9 hour day that comes out to $54

Lettuce sells for around $1 a head where I am at.

Labor costs in a head of lettuce amount to [color="Red"]1.35¢ CENTS not dollars!

If the price of Lettuce was increased by just 5¢ per head, we could pay AMERICANS $20 an hour to pick lettuce.

Do you know of any Americans who would turn down a $20 an hour job that didnt require a College degree?

Feel free to correct me if you see anything wrong with my calculations.

You mean increase the price to 5 cents per head in labor cost and it will be a $20 an hour job. Oh but you see that will cause inflation. More people earning a descent wage will cause more spending and more demand and prices will go up all around. No our wonderful Mexicoons hold down prices and inflation. They are our gift, and don't you really love Mexicoon food? Isn't wonderful that people have a choice between egg rolls and tacos? This is the gift of diversity.

One summer I worked for a roofing contractor who was getting awarded big big jobs on PUBLIC schools. This guy hired a bunch of college kids that summer because he needed some legit looking workers instead of straight up mexicans. Next summer I tried to get a job at the same place and they didn't want me because it's cheaper, easier, and SAFER to hire illegals then hire a college kid and pay them under the table.

I reported them to the website http://www.wehirealiens.com and their website was gone within the next couple of days! HAHA!

Feel free to correct me if you see anything wrong with my calculations.

Yeah , you're not suppose to be able to do simple math ! Didn't you go to public school ? And using common sense , how very un-PC of you .
( Geez, you're not a gullible idiot , like 90% of White America. Incidently , Mexican melon graders can make over $24/hr during the season in coastal Calif.)

I would rather have an oily machine, handling my lettuce, then some diseased mexicoon.

Hey dude, all the wheat for your bread , pasta and cereal is 'picked' by some "oily machine" , it's called a combine ! ( you are so right, we could mechanize all this stoop labor and have cheaper food and better educated kids ( we'll need smart engineers )).

Did you know that the united farm workers had the budget for UC Davis agricultural engineering school cut ! Farm workers don't want those bright white boys building the machines that give us better food . The modern tomato picker has put lots of greazers out of work , the machines are very fast and productive . ( these lousy cheap farmers just don't want to make any capital investments, when they can get cheap brown labor ).

I'm not here to argue with you...but there's a whole lot more to it than that.

Here just one example. Back when I used to bring truckloads of lettuce from the Bud Lettuce Cooler in Salinas, CA back to the Hunts Point Market in the Boogie Down Bronx (armpit of the world!) to feed the niggers...my truck was getting paid roughly $4K for the trip if I remember correctly. Mind you...this was back in the late 70s/early 80s. Diesel fuel has skyrocketed since then. I can't even begin to imagine what it cost to get a truckload out here now.

Lester and "Bud" Antle both worked hard in other lettuce packing sheds as
packers and trimmers before they opened Bud Antle in 1942.

Anyone notice anything strange about the above pic?

This is a good point. Heard Lou Dobbs make the same argument in a recent interview. If it wasn't for these borderline retard farmers hiring illegals, we would probably have more employed engineers and cheaper produce now. Thats what we get for letting strawberry farmers with a 6th grade education determine our immigration and labor policies.

Florida: Mechanization

For many years, economists thought that higher farm wages, effectuated by
farm worker unions, the availability of nonfarm jobs or reduced immigration,
would force farmers to raise productivity in fruit and vegetable agriculture.
In most of US agriculture, productivity was raised by substituting capital for
labor, or using machines to save labor, with the result that the fewer
remaining farmers and farm workers had higher incomes.

However, labor-saving mechanization research was slowed in the 1980s and
1990s by lawsuits that challenged the use of public funds at land grant
universities to develop machines that displaced small farmers and farm workers,
and by the ready availability of labor. Galen Brown, director of harvesting
research for the Florida Department of Citrus, said that "A significant portion
of our labor force has been undocumented, and that has allowed us to operate
with relatively low labor costs for decades."

In the 21st century, a combination of more intense international
competition, break-throughs in electronics and biotechnology, and the fact that
some experienced farm workers can find nonfarm jobs in today's economy may lead
to another round of mechanization.

One of the industries most interested in mechanization is Florida oranges,
most of which are processed into juice. There are at least ten prototype
harvesting machines, from tree shakers to fingers that penetrate the canopy and
pull out oranges. None of the machines harvests all of the fruit, as hand
harvesters could, but the potential labor savings are enormous.

Some 40,000 to 50,000 workers are employed in the December-April orange
harvesting season: one estimate is that 45,000 workers are employed on peak
days in January-February. Florida has about 775,000 acres of oranges, which
yield 300 to 400 boxes of oranges an acre. Workers climb trees that are up to
15- to 18-feet high, hand pick each orange, and place the orange into a picking
sack, which can weigh 70 to 90 pounds when full. Picking sacks are emptied
into field tubs or bins that hold about ten 90-pound boxes or 900 pounds of
oranges. A "goat truck" picks up these 900-pound field bins and dumps them in
a trailer, which then hauls the fruit to a concentrate plant.

Growers receive $5 to $6 for a box of oranges, or $0.05 to $0.06 a pound,
and workers typically receive about $0.75 for each box picked and dumped into a
plastic field bin, or less than $0.01 a pound. The average worker picks about
nine 90-pound boxes an hour, for hourly earnings of $6.75; with 1,000 hours of
work each season, seasonal earnings are $6,750. An article discussing labor
shortages near the end of the 1998-99 citrus harvest discussed piece rates of
$6 to $8.50 a bin, or $0.60 to $0.85 a box.

Florida expects 190-million 90-pound boxes of oranges in 1998-99, down from
a record 244 million in 1997-98. Each 90-pound box yields about 1.6 gallons of
orange juice.

There are several ways to harvest oranges mechanically, with the tree
shaker the most likely of the six approaches under development to be adopted--a
metal arm grabs the tree and shakes oranges into a catching frame that unfolds
around the tree. Six firms are producing mechanical harvesters: Compton
Enterprises and Coe Orchard Equipment, of California; J & G Enterprises, of
Arcadia; Fruit Harvesters International, of Alva; and Cronkelton Enterprises,
of Avon Park.

A mechanical harvester costs about $200,000, and replaces 20 to 30 hand
harvesters who earn an average $7,000; growers need at least 600 acres to
justify the machine. The Coe Orchard trunk-shaker harvests 240 to 480 boxes an
hour, while the average hand harvester picks nine boxes an hour. The machine
works best on large acreages of uniformly spaced trees that are pruned to
expedite mechanical harvesting.

In March 1999, the Jack M. Berry Corp was found to have failed to pay the
federal minimum wage between 1991 and 1994 to 2,800 orange and grapefruit
pickers in La Belle and Immokalee. The workers were employed by Eagle Lake
Harvesting Corp., which was owned by the late Jack M. Berry of Winter Haven.
Eagle paid the pickers $0.65 for each 100 pounds of oranges picked; when yields
were low, some pickers earned less than the $4.25 minimum wage. At the trial,
it was determined that Eagle's computer was programmed to flash when a worker
was not earning $4.25 an hour, prompting the payroll entry clerk to reduce the
worker's hours, a willful violation of the minimum wage law. Damages will be
determined in a second trial.

Clarence Anthony, mayor of South Bay, has been elected president of the
7,000-member National League of Cities. South Bay in Palm Beach county is 90
percent minority, has a per capita income of $13,000 and an unemployment rate
that hovers around 30 percent. South Bay's largest employer, a vegetable
packing house, closed in 1994, eliminating 1,300 seasonal jobs; the city
replaced it with a prison that employs 300 people.

Im just calculating the cost of the stoop labor at a little over 1 penny.

Transportation and other marketing costs are reflected in the $1.00 cost of a head of lettuce.

Just imagine if we payed a nickel more for Whites to pick lettuce at the unheard of rate of $20 an hour, we'd be able to save billions in wasted services to aliens we'd avoid dropped property values, wasteful commuting to avoid ghettos, welfare subsidies, etc, etc, etc.

Mexican labor is not CHEAP to anyone.

If we calculated the billions in expeditures for alien Mexicans, lettuce would probably cost upwards of $100 a head.

1. Mexicans are disproportionate consumers of state-funded services such as Medicaid, welfare, education, 'special education,' police, criminal courts, prisons...

2.Both 'Illegals' and 'legal' immigrants produce less, earn less (and thus pay less taxes . They are also more likely to conduct their economic activities on the cash 'black' market. This gives them another price advantage since they don't pay federal or state income tax withholding, workmen's comp, insurance, sales tax ect.

Sound like what you're actually saying is...they've all got to go!
