"Bettering Oneself" By Robbing Trains Rather Than Picking Strawberries
Author: Robert Krentz

Nobody likes to do menial work like picking strawberries or shoveling horse doo doo. People want to "work their way up the ladder of success", and, as this thread has been discussing, some people feel that if they rob a BNSF freight train in the Arizona desert, it's a "step up." Better and more lucrative than picking strawberries or cleaning toilets.
We need to fortify the borders and we need to NOT give them some form of amnesty. If we did, that would just send a message for ANOTHER 15 million or so of them to pack their bags and head north.
And, perhaps most importantly, U.S. citizens whose values have been sidelined by greed (such as certain horse corral owners) need to hire workers who are here legally.
