I remember in the mid to late 90s that you could make a good bit of cash helping tobacco farmers do the things that need to be done with tobacco. Planting, staking, topping, hauling, putting it in a barn, and stripping, all paid close to 10 bucks an hour. I remember even in my rural ass area of bumblefuck flyover, usa than the beaners started showing up at the big farms, then at the smaller farms, and they did it for 5 bucks an hour. I made enough to pay for insurance, gas and some folding money for beer and bitches. I found other work easily enough, but I feel real sad that sort of work isn't really there for kids anymore. The tobacco farms got phased out, and a way of living that existed for a generation or two is long gone. Perhaps it was just the way of the world, or perhaps it was by design, but it's gone mostly. What are kids looking to make a few bucks doing a bit of seasonal labor suppose to do now? I think toes in the dirt, hands in the soil is very much something that brings us closer to our creator, and that's really a sad thing that it doesn't exist for americans anymore.

Tobacco farms in quite a few places used to have members of the family and their relatives do a lot of the work. Kids also did it for cash, as you said. Another instance of the "old way" of doing things is that there was a farmer I knew of who used to hire Blacks from a nearby city to help in the operation. At some point though nearly everyone in the process has been mostly replaced by Mexicans. Any crop that is labor intensive, they'll be on it right away and ready to work at depressed wages that any local is unable to realistically compete against.

"Trump will go to prison"
"Trump will not run again"
"Trump will get whacked"
"Trump will not win"
"Trump will get cucked by RINOs"
"Trump will chicken out on tarrifs"
"Trump will import millions of jeets"
"Trump will not deport illegals" < YOU ARE HERE
"Trump will not not do Big Beautiful Bill stuff"
"Trump will not destroy Democrat NGOs"
"Republicans will not win midterms"
"Vance will not win"

DA JOOS are so retarded that they made 400lbs deathfat the person responsible for connecting with the normies and you are still blackpiling? I could understand that attitude before the elections but right now, with Trump scoring win after win and the left geting increasingly buck-broken, you have no excuse. Either stop being such a crybaby faggot or go back to where you came from.

"Its been 2 days and Blumpf hasn't proclaimed Day of the Rope yet? ITS FUCKIN OVER DOOOOOD, I SHOULD'VE STAYED HOME DOOOOOOD"

Kill yourself.

Adjusted for inflation, that’s like $30/hr today. There are plenty of people who would be willing to work on a farm for that much.

Yeah, even so back then, the pay was so good the farmers had their pick of folks wanting to do it, and they were quick to fire your lazy ass if you couldn't keep up. Often had to have references from other farms you worked on, but the thing is, the farmer still made a big old stack of money on it.

I'm not a big noodle guy, and even I was upset by that. Mexers seem to really like making food grossly spicy. I really don't see what their obsession with hot chips is

The Tapatio ramen was legitimately delicious, but it was so spicy that it was inedible for me. I enjoy eating spicy SE Asian curries (Not jeet curry) so, I have some taste for spice but this shit was obscenely spicy for no reason.

The worst thing about all those spicy chips is its all just tapatio sauce. It tastes of nothing, it smells like a chemical toilet, I don't get it when Mexico has much better sauces.

If uneducated Mexicans can do it, literally anyone can. They are easily the stupidest people on the planet, there is no excuses for ever hiring them

Most people are fat and unused to labor.

But I don't see why they can't have a system where farmers can't have an agreement with homeless shelters and such where they can drive a bus there and pick up a load of people to get paid for a day of work. They could probably pick up and drop off in four hour blocks so some people could work for four hours and get $80 or work 12 hours straight and get $240

Motherfucker I lived in Illinois, shut the fuck up. Dad would take me to the farm show every year to get a day off school. They have tech. It's ridiculously expensive for most of the small fries. Manual labor is in high demand retard. Machines aren't taking over even with them.

You still need people though. It's not this wireless skynet bullshit you technerds are selling.

More than 100 illegal immigrants were working illegally at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha​

A large ICE raid in Nebraska got more than 100 illegal aliens. The employer claimed they used E-verify and didn't know they were illegals.

reminder that companies that hire illegals also pay them pennies on the dollars and are usually vastly under paying these people.

The ONLY reason people love illegals is because they dont have to pay them legal american wages, this is just slave labor, not about human rights

Why is citizenship being sold at all?
Click to expand...
people with lots of money are generally good to have around.
someone who shells out that kind of money for citizenship isn't going to leech off welfare, engage in petty crime, or refuse to learn english. they are however more likely than not going to be doing business, which contributes to the economy.
having a few rich people from abroad come to live in your country is overall a big net positive for you, and since rich people are few and far between, there isn't really any concern about too many coming in and fucking shit up that way.

basically selective immigration of rich people has the opposite effect compared to mass immigration of poorfags.
