This is why I like CBS News with Katie Couric. Didn''t see this on NBC or ABC. Thanks for the great investigative reporting.

Quote:: "It''s a very sad situation that, you know, at 50 years old, I''ve had to come down here in a sense, start over, to be able to complete my American dream," Scaroni said.

Scaroni''s American dream seems to be getting rich while the people doing the back breaking labor barely get enough to get by. Very sad. Not MY American dream. Shame it''s anyone''s American Dream.

Folks,
On April 1981, the city council in the farm city of Bakersfield in the farm rich area of central California passed an ordinance that simply said no farmer can hire undocumented aliens period. No ifs, buts or else.

In early June 1981, the corps all around Bakersfield was starting to rotten. Very Quietly, on the night of 21-June-1981, the same city council canceled the city ordinance. I heard a similar story in Texas the following year.

Folks,
I just cannot wait for the day when a critical mass of farmers have left America that the President and Congress quickly sign an Amnesty law to all farm laborers to get these farmers back.

companies leaving the US, is now happening.

Only because these companies can no longer get the illegal workers they want for the profit they desire. Notice there is no discussion of minimum wage? In Mexico if you payed a farm laborer minimum wage he''d be a king amongst his peers.

Hangar No. 1 at San Salvador''s airport is hopping. Technicians employed by jet maintenance contractor Aeroman swarm over Airbus planes belonging to JetBlue Airways (JBLU), US Airways (LCC), and Ukraine''s Donbassaero, checking electrical systems, replacing carpets, and examining engines and flaps for signs of corrosion or defects. Just outside, more jets from US Airways and Air Tanzania wait their turn. Why the rush to this tiny Central American country? Starting pay at Aeroman in El Salvador is around $4,500 a year, while veterans take home perhaps $15,000. In the U.S., airplane mechanics earn an average of $52,000 annually....

this just in from onother source,
more outsourcing.....
