More and more people are hiring lawn-care companies to cut their grass. Nothing wrong with that, of course — except that one of the main reasons this is happening is the proliferation of cheap foreign labor through massive immigration, legal and illegal. That flow alters the natural development of whole industries, and slowly but surely moves our society toward something more like Rhodesia or the antebellum South, with cheap, plentiful servants doing jobs that are now thought beneath the station of respectable people.

Immigrants themselves, not paralyzed by political correctness, understand the problem, and solution. In the words of Gerardo Jimenez, a former illegal alien who got a green card the 1986 amnesty, “There are too many people coming … I would benefit if someone imposed order. My work would be worth more.”
