Then the "journalists" "approached" (accosted) these men to find out if they had documentation. Let it be known that it was liberals seeking to undermine a Republican who made stereotypical observations about a group of people based on the job they were doing and the color of their skin. Who's the real hypocrite?

Just because Flenser’s not a rabid Giuliani supporter

“Rabid”, not enthusiastic. We see where you’re coming from. You and Flenser will be very happy together. Unless you haven’t seen, Flenser has been at odds with just about everyone on this board.

It’s funny how supposed “conservatives” like yourself would rather engage in name-calling instead of examining the evidence at hand.

He has had the same guys working for him through the growing season and they return home to Mexico in the winter. He has been asked by more than one of his customers using his service (to include my wife and I). The local guys that do lawn service are all non-Hispanic Americans, but I still do my own lawn and it’s something to see 5 white guys do my neighbors yard in 10 minutes and go on to the next job. These little outfits are second jobs these guys band together on to help make ends meet. Idaho is a slave wage state with wages depressed thanks to the illegal invaders working the local agricultural sector. Doing the job most Americans won’t do indeed. The only reason I do my own lawn is I like the exercise until I get too old and then I’ll give one of these outfits some additional income.
