They would never in a million years hire an American to work for them when they got these basically indentured servants - the Mexicans live right on the farm in little bare-bones trailers, they pay them like $10 an hour under the table, if that, and they work them from dawn to dusk. Meanwhile, my friend works a couple of hours driving the tractor around or some bullshit, drives a brand new Benz, got a shore house down in Avalon. I mean, his family is fucking loaded.

That's a problem. Meaning, the American worker doesn?t really have any friends anymore. Both parties are supporting his total and absolute replacement by a never-ending tidal wave of immigrant scabs. And it's not only agriculture. Construction is just as bad.
Not a big stretch to say that it has happened in our own industry as well.

outsourcing.
