But the Mexican families that DIDN'T move after the war should suddenly change their lifestyle to suit ours? Let me see if I can understand this. If Red China conquers the U.S. we should all start speaking Chinese? Should all signs in english be removed from stores, airports, hospitals, etc in non-english speaking countries? When Texas was part of Mexico did the American immigrants assimilate to Mexican lifestyles or did they revolt? Did all Americans legally enter Mexico in the 1800's or did Mexico get flooded with Americans entering their sovereign nation, taking their land, taking their money, and sending it back to family in the States? Pot, kettle, black.
Now where unions come into play regarding today's immigration issue is simple. Union employees are lazy and drive the up the cost of living with their charity compensation packages. Unions demand breaks, benefits, holidays, wages, etc. The only thing unions don't demand is productivity. Business owners here have been held hostage by unions and if the opportunity to circumvent unions is available then that road will likely be travelled. Bus drivers earning $80,000 per year is vile. I recall a recent thread where you discussed what you expected from an employer as an alarm installer. You want a 40hr work week, company vehicle, overtime, health, dental, life, etc. When that overtime is caused by an installer dragging his heels, or the emergency service call is caused by an installer error what should the employer expect? When the installer doesn't produce 100% the employer doesn't earn 100%. Lack of production costs an employer and that cost gets passed down to customers sooner or later. Now when skilled people want a job, and will work their asses off regardless of how long it takes to complete the job and STILL thank the employer for the job then that person is more apt to get hired. Sadly the union mentality in this country has made the workforce lazy. Employers have to look elsewhere fo manpower. Americans are expecting a
40hr week job to be a financial homerun for them when previous generations understood it took hard work, moonlighting, and sacrifices to ultimately prosper in this country, What is wrong with this country is not the men and women from other nations coming here to work. It's the men and women of this country believing they shouldn't have to work. Employers, and the self-employed in America are the only ones left here that understand that. We break our asses day in and day out to get to where we are, and don't take too kindly to employees always expecting more. This is a country that is made up of people who EXPECT a Xmas bonus.Bonus:
n=2E, pl. -nus=B7es. Something given or paid in addition to what is usual or expected.
A sum of money or an equivalent given to an employee in addition to the employee's usual compensation. A sum of money in addition to salary that is given to a professional athlete for signing up with a team. A subsidy from a government to an industry. A sum of money paid by a government to a war veteran. A premium, as of stock, that is given by a corporation to another party, such as a purchaser of its securities. A sum of money that is paid by a corporation in excess of interest or royalties charged for the granting of a privilege or a loan to that corporation. Basketball. An additional free throw awarded to a player who has been fouled when the opposing team has committed more than a specified number of fouls during a period of play.
Nowhere does it say REQUIRED yet if an employer doesn't pay a Xmas bonus he's called cheap, lowlife, scumbag, whatever you choose to call him. Maybe that employer couldn't afford the bonus because his employees didn't PRODUCE enough.
We are in a country where even the youth are told that they are worth more than $8.00 an hour in the workplace. None of them want to work their way to the top. Everybody feels their kid is a genius and deserves to go to college. When you want to talk about a f***ed up country take a look here first. Not every kid is a genius. Some kids were meant to grow up and sweep floors. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh but they won't sweep floors because they were told they are geniuses. OK so now who the hell do we get to sweep the floors? Who is going to wipe the old lady's ass in the nursing home? Who is going to pick the oranges? Who is going to clean motel rooms, bake pizzas, or bus tables? The answer from America is NOT ME OR MY KID.
Well guess what........ the floor still needs sweeping. The sheets need changing, and the lettuce needs picking. If you don't want the job for what I can afford to pay then I am looking elsewhere.
So if you have a problem with Mexicans coming here taking away jobs then instead of bitching about it grab everyone who thinks like you and run your asses right down to Denny's and take that dishwashing job about from Raul. Then mosey on over to the Super 8 and tell Guadalupe you are taking her job changing sheets. And in your spare time make sure someone tells Francisco that his electrical skills at $20 an hour are no longer required because you are American and willing to work for $20 an hour as an electrician.
The problem isn't trying to stop the flood of immigrants (legal or otherwise) it's trying to find a vehicle big enough to import their whole damn country here so some shit can get done because frankly I am sick & f****ng tired of Americans whining about immigrants when that is what makes this country great.
And if you have a problem with someone who no speakies then send them and their wallet my way.
Too bad they don't speak English or I'd hire the whole damn lot.
The rest of this country should learn to speak French because we've just like the lazy frog bastards.
