I was born and raised in Cali. Used to love living there until they allowed the cartels and other foreign criminals into the state illegally. Lost friends to illegal alien crime and watched many others victimized by illegal alien criminals over the years. Finally left for good and happy I did. But around 2009 or so, I remember doing some research when I heard, yet again, something I had often heard growing up. That was the claim that we needed illegals here to do the jobs Americans wouldn't do. On the state's on website, I found out that half of the people working in our fields were American citizens. Another 25% were working legally with green cards. Only about 25% of the people working in ag were here illegally. It seemed like an easy fix. Just distribute more green cards to foreign workers. It was used as an excuse to continue to allow illegal aliens into our country! So, don't believe that line when you hear it. Americans are NOT afraid to work!
