What happens when you pass oppressive anti-immigration laws? You get what you wish for.

Sad thing is, even if you DO take a job picking lettuce, at the current prevailing wage, you'll still be in poverty.

If you take an urban job at a Krogers, Sears or WalMart, you'll still be in poverty.
I think our idea of poverty is a little screwed up. We just went to a housewarming party for some people we know who immigrated from myanmar/burma. He works at "Winco" stocking at night, and she does cleaning. They've lived here for 3yrs., and just bought a house (they got a killer deal, of course). They have four kids. It's messed up that so many would say they live in poverty. kj.
