Mexican Farm Workers

Jensend maybe the Chinese have started their own North American Opium war.
Parsley isn't most of that stuff organic, you should support it. Funny Saskatoon green house run by immigrant Chinese, imports labour done by mexican migrant workers.

Moderators, please delete this thread. Has nothing to do with Marketing and is offensive.

I agree please remove this thread. I have no time or tolerance for this. Pars needs to leave the bubble of the farm more often.

If you're 'sensitive', click on Burbot's thread named: "Best Whiskey on the Planet"

Nice to have choice. Pars

I just love people that have no qualms about telling other people to shut the blank up.

What can be taken that's positive from a specific warning. Well, maybe that it should be applied in general. Something like a rural crime watch sign that has been posted.

Shaney, now your neighbours shouldn't get overly choked when they see your help moving into your big house. (lol)

A warning?, yes it is meant to be just that, checking.

A rancher in Arizona was murdered a few months ago. In cold blood. It made me pause. Did you hear about it?

In Pinal County, close to the rancher's land, in the past few months, 21,000 illegals crossing the border from Mexico into the USA have been actually apprehended. 21,000! Other illegals were ignored because there isn't adequate border patrol. Would it be fair to call 21,000 an epidemic?

Many Mexican illegals swarming the USA are dangerous. Two weeks ago, 6 drug smugglers with AK 47's hunted a US deputy. Last month, 64 times, when illegals were stopped on the roads by patrols, they fled, most of them armed and shooting at police.

fyi, a few notes and quotes:

1. More than 18,000 workers from Mexico and the Caribbean are brought to Canada each year to specifically plant and harvest crops.

2."Some illegal immigrants enter a country legally and then overstay or violate their visa. [10] For example, most of the estimated 200,000 illegal immigrants in Canada (perhaps as high as 500,000), are refugee claimants whose refugee applications were rejected but who have not yet been ejected from the country." There were mmany Mexican refuge claimants until Canadian refuge rules were changed.

3. "On December 1, 2008, there were 251,235 temporary foreign workers in Canada, almost double the number in 2003; 192,519 foreigners with temporary work permits arrived in 2008, including 66,600 to Ontario."

4. Foreign workers do not have to leave Canada while their employers seek a new LMO to renew their work permits.

5. In labor-short provinces such as Alberta, LMOs are fast-tracked for "shortage" occupations.

6."The Toronto Star ran a series of articles on November 2-4, 2009 criticizing Canadian temporary foreign worker programs, alleging that they made it too easy to bring unskilled foreign workers into Canada."

7. "Manitoba has been especially aggressive in allowing Maple Leaf Foods, Canada's largest meatpacker, to employ low-skilled temporary foreign workers in its Brandon pork processing plant and nominate them to become immigrants after two years of satisfactory work. Over 70 percent of the 11,200 immigrants in Manitoba in 2008 were provincial nominees, immigrants recommended by provincial governments rather than admitted via the point system (about three-fourths of Canada's provincial nominee immigrants were from Manitoba in 2008)."


8. "About 75 percent of the 2,000 workers at Maple Leaf's Brandon plant are migrants who are required to work at least six months for Maple Leaf in order to be recommended for immigrant visas. Maple Leaf reported that its turnover rate fell sharply when it substituted migrant for local workers. The city of Brandon, with about 41,000 residents, is growing as some immigrant workers unify families."

9. "Maple Leaf, which opened the pork processing plant in 1999, says it spends C$6,000 per migrant to cover recruitment and costs and a month's rent in Brandon. Maple Leaf's Brandon workers are represented by a union, which supports the temporary worker and provincial nominee system. About 10 percent of Maple Leaf's migrants leave Canada before earning immigrant status."

I cite a few agriculture quotes(not,ie mining) because it pertains to farmers. To us.

We need to make ourselves aware of the documented violence and the guns being used to enter the USA, and learn from it, so that as migrant and temporary workers increase in our provinces, originating from any country, we can prevent turmoil.

There are people who are more than willing to circumvent immigration laws. Pars

One of the safest places to live in north america is el
paso texas,one the most dangerous is a few miles
away across a boarder,why?

Actually Parsley the Mexicans coming here to work have a squeaky clean crime record.
They work hard and at the same time taken advantage of like the Chinese lady only paying minimum wage. I like to joke about it a bit because you can actually work up to supervisor in one year with 50 cent raise, lol. I know someone working there and just enjoy the stories of the losers they got working there sometimes. On the other hand the Chinese a lot have built their businesses because of dealings with drugs and prostitution. I don't ask about my wifes families past anymore its better not knowing.
