There are migrant worker programs that allow for seasonal picking, and then they return to their shit-hole country. That's worked in the past; it can work again. They don't have to live here and be on welfare.

Friends of my parents owned a large farm in the Red River Valley. Every year they had several families of migrants come for the harvest. They housed them in shacks out of sight. Every year, when school started and the bus came to pick up the migrant children, she pitched a fit. She hated that even a penny of her tax dollars went to educate those kids, even if it was only for a few weeks.

No,

it's inhumane.

Before the end of the good times, Quakers in the north enticed and pamphleteered Southern blacks to leave their plantations and come to the north to work for wages. The blacks worked the fields and gathered in the harvest. When the Fall came, the Quakers handed them their wages and said "we'll see you in the Spring." The blacks said "where do we go now?" Most went back to the South. Some died in the snow.

Giving someone a seasonal job doesn't require the employer to be a permanent caretaker.

You're correct. We should just let them die in the snow. There will be a new crop of workers next year!

It's understandable. It's not taxpayers' responsibility to learn Spanish in order to teach migrant children, and if teachers don't speak Spanish, the children won't learn anything anyway.

I wonder what you'll say when

you and all the other displaced non-aliens

of this country are part of the coming

New American Diaspora as you/they spread

around the world and are treated as you

would treat these powerless kids you

treat like trash under your feet.
