re: How about landscaping? The Norte Americanos have no touch for that. Takes a Hisp creative mind combined with not being shy of physical work.

Believe it or not, most landscapers used to be citizens. Paid a lot better than flipping burgers because it was hard work. But it used to be considered a "good job".

So, you contend that people will no longer take care of their yards if the illegals are banished? Believe me, clueless Swede, it happened before they arrived, and it will still happen after they're gone.

That's utter nonsense. Who do you think does landscaping in the 80% of the rest of the country that doesn't have very many hispanics? CA is not like the rest of the country except for maybe FLA.

Most people do their own landscaping/mowing........of course those chores don't have to be done 12 mos of the year like in CA. Up here, I've seen Anglo, Latino and Asian gardners......no one group predominates.
