I guess I'm a racist too! I mean I would be if it were an option. There just aren't any around here. But, growing up on a citrus and avocado ranch in California I had a lot of experience. Some of my fondest memories as a kid are of going out to the orchards at lunch time and sharing their tortillas and beans with them squating in the dirt. Nothing in this world like fresh made tortillas and refritos.

During the real estate bubble some guys decided to build an upscale place called the Wilderness Club. Nick Faldo designed the golf course. They imported Mexicans for the summer to do the work on the course. There was no way they would use whites from here assuming they could get them. And yet, the whole town was crying about no work because of the sawmills all closing down.

Around here they want at least $20+/hr. for unskilled labor. At that price I do it myself. :)
