McCain's Dire Warning to the Senate

Date: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 3:18 PM

<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 1479 >>>>>

Check out the quote below by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as he argues on the
floor of the Senate for guest worker visas.

He claims that restaurants are closing their doors because they can't get
enough illegal aliens to serve our food and wash our dishes. I don't know
about you guys, but I haven't seen many restaurants close - especially the
junk food places that prefer hiring illegal aliens over our teenagers that
need a job. In Arizona we still have lots of McDonalds, Taco Bells,
Filiberto's, and all the other bastions of gastrointestinal diseases.

If a restaurant can't stay open without cheap foreign laborers to clean
dishes then so what? That just means we will suffer fewer cases of
hepetitis, e-coli, salmonella etc.

Clearly McCain is running for President and not Secretary of Agriculture,
because he doesn't know that most fruit grows on trees, not vines, and
lettuce doesn't die in the fields, it rots.

McCain said he would pay $50 an hour to any U.S. citizen that would come to
Arizona to pick lettuce. He has hundreds of volunteers but so far hasn't
hired a single one. If the U.S. has such a problem with lettuce why isn't
he hiring these people?

More importantly, there are certain realities in America today that we are
trying to address. Among them, that the American population is growing
older. The baby boomers are retiring and leaving in their wake a number of
jobs that need to be filled. Restaurants are locking their doors because
there is no one to serve the food or clear dishes. Today, fruit is rotting
on the vine and lettuce is dying in the fields because farmers can't find
workers to harvest the crops.
