Ok, I dont want this to be a bash on immigrants or anything, BUT..... Im reading this months TCIA Mag & have noticed in past Mag`s along with ISA publications that it would seem they want you to learn spanish!!
their training materials are in spanish & they make a big whoop dee doo about new materials coming out in spanish!!!! So heres my problem!!
Whats sad is Both entities have talked about illegal immigration reform, But both pander to make them comfortable in our work place....can you say membership dues?
#1. why dont they learn english? their in America!!
#2. Why should I learn spanish to communicate to a group of people who by their being here & working for peanuts(whole families in tree care) undermine the very trade I love, respect & has provided for me & mine?
#3. If their Illegal send em back, companies in my area that are using "mexicans" know they can pay em little & love that fact!! & are making large profit from it.
#3. Illegals know what they are doing & got us by the ya know what!! their kinda like a mobile walmart.....
#4. our trade is going backwards in the laboring sense of things, what 19-20+yr old is going to come work for a company starting off at $7.50-$8.00hr?? our illegal counterpart will!!, many of them are in their 30`s or older this wont help in future training!! We need that 19-20yr old bracket to want to learn instead we drive them to search for other job/career opportunities.
Illegal Immigration has in some parts of this country put a hurtin on us & will make into all areas if let go!! wages will spiral downward & with the housing market on bust people are gonna want cheap!!!
I dont feel bad for em!! GO HOME!! yes they work hard/cheap but takes much longer, they are a liability in the work sense yeah they`ll do it!! with not a clue as to the proper way, they are a financial liability!! driving down wages & paid exclusively in cash so as to stay under the radar.
Did TCIA & ISA think this was a good idea? both should be ashamed! targeting a group of people who`s majority are here ILLEGALLY & then have the stones to try to train them by having me learn their language!!
Learn English, become Legal Citizens if not GO HOME!!! there are many other things I could rant on about pertaining to this situation but just wandered why the best sources of information for tree care would support & enhance this group of people whom are destroying the American Dream & know it?
I do apologize if I offended anyone, this may be a sensitive topic to some, Not Me!!! the answer to me is simple, I hate paying my own taxes, healthcare, pension, education expenses(daughter) & just plain out right making a living!!! let alone have to pay for illegals to have the same when they didnt earn it!!! why should this be put on my/Americas shoulders?
