It's been years, but at one time I was a California farm worker. I drove a tractor and irrigated, and weeded cotton, rather than harvest iceberg lettuce, but back in those days, I was one of only 3 or 4 non-hispanic farm workers who was not the son of a farmer. The hours were long (up to 100 hrs/week), and it was very hot, but the pay was quite good for non-skilled (but trainable) workers. Many of my co-workers worked harder than you can imagine for 8-9 months per year, then vacationed back in Mexico where they had servants. They tended to own their own homes (one in the US, one in Mexico), owned their own car, and contributed to society, and were grateful for the pay. It took me many weeks to gain respect from them, since so few non-hispanics were willing and able to work that hard. My pay covered my expenses for over 2 years of engineering school, al earned over 4 months. I don't feel sorry for them, I respect them! And I'd guess that "Americans" still won't take those jobs.
