Recent War Vet Teaches Veterans To Farm

[Rim05]

That is one of the best, if not the best, news I have heard about our food.
People say those are jobs Americans will not do but this is one American who did do those jobs. To this day I do as much gardening as I am able to do.

I have not purchased green onions in about 2 years because they are ALL from Mexico and my seed have not been coming up when I plant them.

I check where almost all my food comes from. I recently discovered that Kellog's Raisn Bran is now "Product of Mexico. So are Nabisco graham crackers. Kraft is on the Mexico product. People should check where the food is coming from. You know they say "You are what you eat.

Living in an agricultural area this hits close to home. Remo, your point is well taken. That is why their "If we didn't have illegals a head of lettuce would cost $5" is such crap. The cost of agriculture is mostly the marketing, the labor is subsidized by the taxpayer. I'm learning more and more about exactly how much the taxpayer is paying for by attending our city council meetings twice a month. Just last week I found out that the taxpayer has paid for over 250 late model GMC vans that the illegals can "check out" at no cost except mileage. That's right, no cost for gas, maintenance, license, insurance or anything else. The taxpayer pays for everything else, including roadside assistance!!! All that is required is for one person to have a drivers license, and it doesn't state that is has to be a California Drivers License.

These illegals get Section 8 housing, free medical, food stamps, free childcare, free legal services and just about anything they need.

When you add it all up they get about $25-$30 an hour. I took the time to consider what they receive and divided it by 40 hr worked.

Is this a great country or what!

Seriously, who or what part of the government is doing this.

If I were an illegal alien and desired to make a road trip with eight of my closest illegal buddies, just who would I approach?

What sort of paperwork would I have to fill out?

That is something I would like to know also.

Here’s what the flier for the vans states.

Cal-Vans provides save, reliable and low-cost transportation to workers on all regions of California.
Economical
15-passenger vans are loaded free to the driver. Passengers pay a low rate based on the number of miles traveled per week. The gas, maintenance and $10million in liability insurance are included in the price.

Simple
You are not required to sign a contract, If you have no work, you can simply return the van. When work resumes, you can use the van again. And no credit check is required, either.

Comfortable
All vans are late-model GMC Savanas equipped with air conditioning and CD players. Vans for agricultural workers are also equipped with water receivers, trailer hitch, fire extinguishers and first aid kits.

sponsored by the kings county area public transit agency, the aits program offers your employees safe, reliable transportation to and from work. All at a lower cost than they’re probably paying now. All to keep our roadways safe and your business productive. For program specifics, please click on any of the questions below:

What is the cost of aits to employers?
Participation in the program is free to employers.

What is the cost to drivers and riders?
A one-time start-up grant provided money to set-up the aits program and purchase the 15-passenger vans. The money to sustain and expand the program comes from the riders themselves. Workers pay a modest fee to ride an aits vanpool -- far less than the $5 per day most workers must pay to ride in an unsafe, unreliable vehicle. The payments cover the agency’s cost of maintaining and insuring the vans, as well as the cost of replacing them when they wear out. The drivers receive no pay -- they’re simply farm workers who volunteer to operate a vanpool. And enjoy the benefits of a safe, affordable, reliable commute to work.

How does aits ensure safety behind the wheel?
Vanpool drivers must have a class c license, pass a required physical and provide a dmv printout showing proof of a clean driving record. The vans themselves are also equipped for safety. Each one is outfitted with a global positioning system, so the driver can locate help should an emergency arise. The vans also carry first aid kits, fire extinguishers and roadside safety items. And for maximum peace of mind, every van in the program is fully covered by a $2 million insurance policy.
