Maybe that's true in the west, but in the east where there are more native unemployed, workers stay in one area for an entire season.
Either way, moving from place to place is just another reason why Americans aren't doing the job. It's difficult work, and again, suggestions by others that immigrants are "taking" these jobs from Americans are just silly.

Suggestions welfare recipients could do the job if denied benefits are senseless, the costs would be outrageous, most welfare recipients are female and have minor dependants, you'd need to provide housing, daycare, schooling and medical services, and plenty of welfare recipients would still be unemployable due to other handicaps. If you set off from the proposition to revoke any of their rights to public assistance there'd be savings since no housing, daycare, school or medical service would be required, but I suspect you'd have a revolution before they gave up these benefits.

Very true. You're not arguing me here. I'm merely showing why a steady flow of hard working immigrants is necessary to the economy.
