What is going on here? A Brewster Washington farmer is flying in 300 Jamaican farm workers to pick crops. The issue started during an INS paper check forcing the farmer to let go hundreds of Mexican workers. Conservative statist commentators were dancing in the street that now the farmer forced against his property rights, has to hire real American workers at around $11.00 dollars an hour plus room and board and transportation, not a bad deal for an unemployed native worker. The farmer tired and the result was no takers. Needing to find workers, he had to look elsewhere. I do not blame the farmer, he played by the rules.

Doing Jobs Americans Will Not
Monday, July 5th, 2010Obama and Oregon Cruel Joke on Me
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009Every time I drive up highway 26 near whey I live I see these signs.
Furthermore, I head President Obama plan will create 3 million jobs but where are those jobs. Even Minority Leader John Boehner seems unable to find them.
The dirty little secret is the stimulus plan did squat in job creation and a lot to line the pockets of bureaucrats and the unions. The stimulus is more job preservation rather than job creation. Even at this moment I can hear the heavy machine working on Highway 26, have the state hired new works to “man the shovels”? The answer is NO! The truth is Unions will keep their member employed than hire and train new workers, furthermore; there only a small tem around 20 working on the roads, with 240,615 Oregonians out of work that not even a drop in the bucket.
Need more proof:
The actual unemployment number exceeded Obama administration estimates if the stimulus plan did not exist.
As I drive by the sign, I enter my sixth month unemployed, the statement “Putting Oregon back to work” rings hollow, shame on you President Obama shame on you Salem, both make mockery of me.
