Well I also had issues with a few other possitions he has taken but he promised he listened to the people and modified his goals to reflect the strong beliefs of his party base.
I was not very excited about him because I was not sure how solid his promise was or if he was just claiming to drop his Liberal possitions to get elected. He went a long way to proving his promise was genuine by selecting a very tough person like Palin as his running mate.
This comment by him is actually true most of the time.
Get away from liberal and conservative for a moment and really look around, can you honestly say anyone you see would want to pick lettice? There is a void in these kinds of jobs, the void is being filled by people who are willing to do them. In this case it is illegals.
If a man can travel from Mexico to AZ and get a job, why can't an American? The American 'can' but sees that kind of job as beneath them when they can just go on welfare and make more money. Look, we have to see his entire comment to understand what he was saying, listen closely, he said the "entire" season. Most people work a short time in jobs like that and quit. This was his point.
I worked tobacco, watermellons and hay from the age of 12. I also worked on my family farm and a couple other farms doing odd jobs. There days there are no kids doing these jobs anymore, they are above that kind of thing. We are creating a society where being lazy is normal.
I do not agree with amnesty for illegals, but I do agree with a guest worker program with ID's and make them pay their share of taxes. America was founded on the principle of immigration, new people came to America and competing for jobs has always come down to working harder for less money to earn a job. An employer willing to pay you money to work was considered a good thing.
Modern Americans see themselves as priceless and want the employers to pay them for doing nothing. Unions have driven the cost of our products so high that companies started moving their plants over seas to workers who would appreciate the job.
Right now I have a Cousin who is a janitor with GM. His union wage is $22.15 an hour. If a janitor can make that kind of money, you can only imagine what the other people are making. I am surprised we have any American inustry when we have that kind of overhead that must be put into every product we produce.
