http://www.sunherald.com/2015/03/29/6150031/advocate-immigration-problems.htmlOne month into the peak season, during which the crawfish industry makes most of its money, an immigration kerfuffle has kept Guillory and most of the owners of the states dozen or so processors from hiring enough peelers.
Most of the workers come from Mexico and Central America. Without the peelers, the processors will stop buying as much crawfish from the fishermen....
Sherbin Collette agrees: It could be that we lose half the industry. Its that serious. Its positively an emergency.
If you've ever spent any time in Louisiana, you'll understand that he's not joking! For one thing, NOLA Jazz Fest is timed to coincide with the peak of crawfish season. The Fest without Crawfish Monica? Unthinkable!

There's no such thing as a "job Americans won't do." Finish the sentence! Americans won't do the job at the wages being offered.

if you've never been to a Dick's Last Resort, ...find the closest one .....leave your ability to be offended at home, and go have the best time you'll ever have.
bring as filthy a mind as you can muster, the foulest language you're capable of, and prepare to laugh more than you ever have.
