KM: Americans Will Do Hard Work, But …

Last week there was an article written about the issue of immigration. In this article it was implied by two Mexican immigrants that Americans will no longer work at hard physical labor jobs. Myth: Americans will no longer work at hard physical labor jobs, because they consider them demeaning. Fact: Americans will work at hard physical labor jobs, but not for what illegal Mexican workers will work for. Most of these illegal Mexicans work for minimum wage and their contractor/employers hire them for one main reason: To increase their profits by paying them less money. Most of these employers do not pay insurance on their illegal workers either. The bottom line is Americans will work at hard physical labor jobs, but they want to be paid a living wage so they can pay their bills/ Kage Mann , Coeur d’Alene Press. More: letter to editor .

DFO (on furlough): Kage, how did you get the Press to run a letter to the editor w/o use of your real name?

Question: Do you agree with Kage Mann that Americans aren’t afraid of working tough jobs. But they won’t do the work for the pay or lack of benefits  offered “illegal Mexican workers”?
