Immigrant farm workers ask Americans to take their jobs … please

It’s perhaps the most common complaint levied against illegal immigrants — they are stealing American jobs and bringing down the economy. Now, the United Farm Workers of America is teaming up with “The Colbert Report” to offer farm worker jobs to any American who wants to take them. The organization is encouraging any unemployed Americans, Washington pundits and anti-immigrant activists to sign up for the Take Our Jobs campaign. They say that if you’re okay with long days under the hot sun, small paychecks, no overtime or workers compensation, they will happily train and set up Americans with farm jobs.

The goal of the campaign is to remind Washington that we need immigration reform. Arturo Rodriguez, president of the United Farm Workers of America, explains the campaign and why they partnered with Colbert.
