The Worst Job In New York: Immigrant America

trump you are doing a good job

[@Smokeytheganga]

They don't want to put the children in detention centers that's why they are separating the children and taking them to housing were children go when both parents get arrested for a crime. They are damned either way , if they don't separate the families they are bad for putting children in detention centers, if they separate the children so they don't have to be in a detention center they are bad. Trump administration did not start this whole thing , enforcing the law yeah ,but they never started it. Its proven Obama's administration deported more illegal immigrants then any other President in American history and most the pictures of the detention centers posted everywhere are from 2014 under the Obama administration. The only difference between Obama's administration and Trumps is that Trump was vocal about it when Obama did it silently.

@dennisestrada75 You're the fool being fooled by the illegal DACA! DACA are illegals that came here when they were young and now they are 18 to 30 years old. So they are technically ILLEGALS, and illegals said they come here to do jobs Americans don't want to do like "milking the cow". These illegal DACA want to go to college to steal good-paying jobs from the legal residents and Americans!

Meanwhile this little Dane grew up with cattle n goats and horses, donkies, etc. I am fucking astounded that people do not want to milk cattle for a living, its the EASIEST fuckin job on the planet! Well provided the cow dont kick you xD Not to mention that you can get fresh quality milk and cremes before its destroyed by machinery, and you can feed the local cat... seriously, why on earth is this not a popular line of work for unemployed US citizens? Is the pay bad? I am genuinely curious because I think I can find a solution!

[@anthonykindle9377]

@@forbidden1086 Spoken like a true idiot. Why is it that all ppl who speak this ignorance are actually ignorant. Learn to spell then come back. When they had become more strict on "illegals" working these jobs, farmers were left with no workers. So then they offered to increase wages upt to over 15/hr. and americans still wouldn't take the job. If ppl are upset that they take such low wages, be mad at the owners who actually hire and maintain these low wages. Which in turn actually keep America's food cost down. If you don't want hispanics here or working, don't eat, occupy any building or home made by hispanics, etc.

[@AlexVista8]

+Max Max America is progressing into a better and possibly futuristic country i highly doubt Americans wouldve done the job, if mexicans were not there, let me remind you Mexicans have been here since the 1980's or even longer, yes americans wouldve done the job, but wouldnt be payed as much as other jobs that require as much education. If you are supposing that Americans wouldve done the job they wouldnt mainly because they would be interested other type of jobs that would be paid more.

In Canada our produce farms are staffed by Mexican workers who come on temporary work visas. One farmer told me he’d go out of business without them so it’s not just an American thing.

Claudia A. Valencia From a friend of mine that translates for a lot of these workers, and they people that hire them here in BC, treat them like sub humans. Garbage. It’s ironic, because most of the said farmers that hire them have illegals of their own family on the farm.

[@michamcv.1846]

& i taugh canada was part of this continent

[@gabrielacamberova]

Rational Thinker Yes, and if you are from Europe, it is impossible to get such a visa in Canada. On the other hand, young Canadians here are so lazy, that what farmer told you, is true. Accidentally, my husband works for dairy industry. Nobody wants to work here in BC, Canada, except Philipinos, and East Indians. It is a mystery to me, how can they get work permits and permanent residency, with mostly no English and significant lack of skills. And officially, one can get work permit only in so called skilled position, so people cheat together with their employers. And immigration knows it, governement knows it. But they will not change the rules... That is how great Canada is. For person from Europe it is incredibly hard, we get permits only for 1 year... Ironically, now we sell Canadians milking robots designed and made in Europe, so even the last workers will get out of their jobs... Country abandoned God, and He gave it up to its wicked desires....

The only problem is the federal government letting in all these illegal aliens who take jobs from locals. I was paid $13 an hour at my last dairy and had all the extra spending money I could want. Country people will work these jobs, but not if hordes of illegals are just allowed to stroll across the border like it is a casual Sunday picnic.

Farm workers are among the most valuable immigrants that come here from Mexico and South America. Farmers in Alabama are going out of business due to strong immigration laws and the lack of American's willing to do these jobs or even capable of doing them. It is the usual lack of action in congress to correct these problems and further proof that the Government should be widely privatized to be more productive and accountable.

This is neither a pro or con, just sharing an experience: I come from a large American city. Many years ago I l moved to a rural area, there are many farms...but nowhere near a boarder. I noticed that there was a large illegal population. I wondered where do they come from? How do they get here? One day when sharing some comments of co-workers with a friend. The friend said to me. If they weren't here, who would pick our vegetables? We have degrees, are you going to take that type of job? Our kids get allowances. They aren't going to do it. Even if they take a summer job they will look for something like a sales associate in a store or fast food at the very least. So again, I ask you, how would the farmers survive? How would we get affordable vegetables to eat? I just looked at my friend, thinking...he's biased cause he's a vegetarian. But later when I gave it more thought, I had no answer. I still have no answer. It's not just dairy, it's farming in general.

The lack of any protection from workplace hazards is an issue that has been addressed outside of America. Why is the USA running factory farms like third world countries with no regulations to protect the quality of their products AND the safety of workers? I don't blame anyone who refuses this work because of the lack of safety (kicking of the cows, slips trips falls, contamination, falling objects). I worry about those who take on these jobs, which have taken form of a third-world style oversight in a first world country.

After 9/11, the path to citizenship became harder. However, company owners CAN help their immigrant workers obtain a green card IF the immigrant had started a green card application back before April 30, 2001 and have proof that they were present in the US before that. This part of the law is "Section 245(i)"...look it up for more details. It will take a few years before they receive their green card. So, many immigrants do not qualify under that. There is currently no other law for immigrants who entered illegally that allows a path to citizenship. Children of these immigrants have DACA as an option when they're older, which is a work permit, but is NOT a path to citizenship.

[@Animurh]

I'm not American but looking at the pay for the amount of work they have to do is really shitty and do they get any benefits that comes with that? Probably not. If the pay isn't worth the work why bother?

[@sm753]

Animurh My point being: there are jobs available but Americans would rather sit at home and collect unemployment while they complain about not being able to find jobs with their degree in art history or English lit.

I would do then again I am Hispanic. Do have 2 jobs wouldn't mind a 3rd one during the summer when I'm not in school

[@Claptonisgod33]

The United States is statistically one of the hardest working countries in the world much more so than European countries but the hard working poor can't escape poverty because the odds stacked against them. This whole "the harder you work the better your life will be" is a lie.

better then working on a line in a factory or cleaning out portable toilets etc.

Milking cows isnt a terrible job. You typically work a 12 hour shift 4/5 days a week and the average worker makes about $40-50,000 a year. I milked cows for a year. Wasnt that bad! Great job to save money quick

[@Heritagepostfarms]

And yes all my coworkers were immigrants. Very few americans were willing to do the work. I liked them. They were hardworking, honest men.

[@Suzifully]

But, you're one in many many man Americans sadly. If only more Americans were willing to get their hands dirty!

[@dandrednell1]

If it was great, y aren't u milking anymore. Was the pay 2 great?

[@Heritagepostfarms]

dandrednell1 I never said it was great. I said it was a great way to save money. I have a higher paying, lower hours job now

[@dandrednell1]

Do roofing and you will see another hard job

[@GirlWthGlasses]

Milking cows was easy when I was a kid, but I had two parents and 5 other siblings to help out so it wasn't all that hard to get milking done. I'm actually thinking of going back to work on a farm as a farm hand.

16 years and not able to speak the damn language.I've nothing against those people but come on.

[@wishfulanthony]

Somnivers Certain factors come up as to why they have difficulty learning English: - Some communities do not have adequate facilities for immigrants and recent arrivals to teach them the English language and provide services for them (e.g. job hunting, obtaining driver's licenses, child care support, etc.) - Their lack of or limited amount of documentation could cause them to pay significantly more to be educated at a community college, and with the pressure of feeding their families, they have little to no recourse but to work long hours - Their long work hours mean they do not have adequate time to be with their families or spend time reading books; instead, many keep the unending eat-work-sleep pattern every single day without a day or two to spend quality time with their children and partners And since our Congress has been way too slow, if not ignorant, on the issue of immigration reform, then people need to vote those incompetent politicians out of office in the next election. Those Congress members who are against immigration reform are the same people who continue to subsidize the oil and banking industries for their own wealth accumulation rather than helping out immigrants wanting to live better lives in the country.

[@Somnivers]

Anthony Nachor Agreed,there are multiple factors ,it's a complex problem.But,16 years in US and not able to speak some basic English is just insane.I know immigrants are having a hard time and they work many hours ,I do appreciate those people who work hard jobs.But I just can't imagine living in a country so much time and not speaking some basic language,no language is that hard to learn in 16 years.To me that just shows lack of interest in the respective country's culture.

[@Somnivers]

Anthony Nachor A plausible reason for me is that most Americans don't want to do those jobs so Mexicans only interact with each other at work .Their bosses speak Spanish to them so that's that.At home they also speak Spanish ,that's normal.I've seen this before in Spain , where people who worked there for 7-8 years were not able to say anything in Spanish.

[@unholychunk]

They are being interviewed. They probably do know very basic English but in order to have a conversation about the topic they are speaking their mother tongue.

Yeah, it’s the same story with other jobs that are labor-intensive. I am saddened by the fact that we treat these people like criminals when in reality they are carrying our economy on their backs.

[@frankduran7364]

big fundamental true that

[@hse6144]

That’s because the pay went from $20/hr with benefits, to $10/hr no benefits. Your Cuban friend is used to 50 cents a day, he’ll take just about anything.
