    Nothing like calling out ignornace, hate and insincerity with truth, intelligence and empathy. Another great job, Nez!

    What’s with the cap with its bill askew. Makes you look like a gangbanger. Your presentation would be more effective without this artifice.

    No one wants to do the ag jobs in 100 degree heat, not even Mexicans. I doubt you do this kind of work. But there are other jobs in roofing, painting, and construction that used to be done by citizens. Now all that has changed. Maybe we can begin to take back America paint job by paint job, construction job by construction job,roofing job by roofing job, hospitality job by hospitality job. Are you saying, the 10-20% of American who are out of work will not take any of those jobs?

      Hi! What’s up with the arrogance, condescension, presumptuousness, rudeness, stereotyping, and fashion advice? Makes you look like a child entering a confusing adult scene and offering unsolicited verbiage that amounts to nothing but noise that should shame the speaker.

      Your presentation would be more effective without this artifice.

      Thank you. I would offer you the same advice.

      No one wants to do the ag jobs in 100 degree heat, not even Mexicans. I doubt you do this kind of work.

      What anti-immigrant factions try to debunk is the idea that Mexicans (and other immigrants) do the jobs others don’t want to. You seem to agree with me here. Mexicans do those jobs, immigrants do those jobs. Despite not wanting to, if that be the case. Even if so, Mexican@s have been working this land for a long, long time. Do you “want” the food you eat? I think so. Thank Mexican@s, then. :)

      Your last sentence here is what we call an “argument ad hominem,” and your doubts are not relevant.

      But there are other jobs in roofing, painting, and construction that used to be done by citizens. Now all that has changed.

      Wow, really? So citizens no longer work in roofing, painting, and construction? Since when? When did this massive “change” happen? Did it coincide with the GOP’s latest blitz of fearmongering, post 9/11? Was it Wednesday, last? Please, link me to this big news.

      Maybe we can begin to take back America paint job by paint job, construction job by construction job,roofing job by roofing job, hospitality job by hospitality job.

      If you are part of that “we” that thirsts to “take your country back,” then, yes! I say yes. You can. Go ahead! Get out there and do it. Action calms the angst filled mind. Let me know how it goes.

      Are you saying, the 10-20% of American who are out of work will not take any of those jobs?

      I think my video was quite clear in what it was “saying.”

      Adios!

        Given that we(for argument’s sake “Americans”), for the most part, only care about our “fellow” Americans when it is convenient, the weight given to the “americans losing their jobs, etc” is considerably less.

        Judgement upon their merits as Humans, not upon their artificially given nationality.

    Does CNN read your blog? Good Luck getting our positive message out there. I just can’t understand the hatred.

      Sure they do. After all, I’ve been called before by Rick Sanchez’ people about being on a short list of facetime talkers for his show. It never materialized (sorta glad, the idea is a bit nervewracking, eh?). But all the shows scan the blogs that have some degree of visibility and credibility, it’s no secret really, and it’s smart of them to do so.

      But to the point, I don’t know that CNN got their story from my blog. I’m sure many people are aware of UFW’s campaign. The more the merrier, I say!

      Thank you! And yeah…there is no understanding hate. It simply is, simply blooms in the soil of ignorance and fear.
