Instead of McCain's offer, what if the agriculture industry paid 50 dollars an hour for any work ie, picking lettuce, green beans, tomatoes, oranges, etc, etc. Does anyone actually think Americans will turn down those jobs?

I don't think so. Working a forty hour week for fiftytwo weeks at 50 dollars an hour will give you a yearly gross income of 104,000 dollars and that ain't chicken feed.
The job is even better than I thought! I didn't realize lettuce of any combinations of foods could be harvested for 52 weeks. Hot damn, I am packing up the family now. With all the kids we can put to work, we will come out of this real good in a years time.

Ah does Arizona have home schooling? We can shout math problems and other lessons while harvesting the crops.
