In attempts to show that illegal aliens aren't taking away American jobs, Stephen Colbert and the United Farm Workers of America are encouraging the unemployed and anti-immigrant activists to apply for the thousands of agricultural jobs being posted with state agencies. They think they are being cute, but I think it's a great idea.
Anyone who is able-bodied and drawing unemployment and/or any type of welfare should be offered one of the jobs. If he refuses, his government benefits are stopped immediately. Instant jobs for those who really want to work. Instant savings to the taxpayer from those who don't want to. It's a win-win situation!
If you are out of work and want to apply, go to www.takeourjobs.org.
