    It's called Winter and it happens every year. Be alert for the abnormally wet season that follows that (called Spring) and an abnormally hot season following that (called ... you guessed it : Summer!)

    I didn't say that I agreeed with it. Just that that's how the argument goes. I was answering a question of "who would do the jobs that Mexicans do now?"

    Most of the jobs that Mexicans do (farming, housekeeping, simliar low-class jobs) are jobs also done by my peer group. We hate them, and move on--but if we couldn't move on, we'd probably unionize, stay where we are, and raise prices for everyone.
