Agricultural jobs why Americans do not take them

If a Jamaican agricultural worker receives $10.00 per hour here in the United States, in Jamaica that is $854.30 JMD.
So 40 hours X $10.00 = $400.00 US in Jamaica he is bringing home $34,170.00 JMD, nice income.

If a Mexican makes $10.00 per hour that is $130.60 Mexican Peso.
If an Illegal Mexican makes $400.00 for 40 hours he brings home $5,224.00 pesos, nice income.

Plus if these people work for a farmer/Grower he or she gets room and board, they live on-site, so their expenses are minimal.

Where as an American worker earning $400.00, out of that comes:
Federal and State Taxes
Social Security
Medicare
Rent or House payments
Automobile costs to get to work
Insurance
Property taxes if they own a Home
Child care if they have children
food and clothing
Electricity
Heat/cooling costs
Garbage
Phone
On and on…

Gee and you wonder why Americans avoid Farm/Growers jobs, who in America could afford to work for them on a seasonal basis, the Jamaicans and Mexicans are making a killing, why wouldn’t they want to work here and send all that money home.
