: : : : Or Marry Melanie (if available) then get a green card and inherit the ranch down the road:)

: : : : : : Hi everyone, who could possibly give me more information about working on a ranch in Texas? I'm Dutch and not in possession of a green card. I have been working on farms in Europe before and experienced. Please e-mail me if you have valuable information for me. Thanks a lot! Jerry from Holland

: : : : : Most Texas Ranchers won't hire you without the greencard. The fines are just as high for ranchers as it is for businesses. My dad was one to find out the hard way, years ago. An immigration helicopter landed on our ranch and picked up one illigal alien. My dad had to pay the mans wages up to date, and a stiff fine that he'll never forget.

: : : LOL I'm not available, I do speak some spanish. My dad and granddad were fluent in speaking spanish. Which didn't soften the fines for hiring illegals to help on the ranches. The best bet to find work is in California, not Texas. Immigration is strong here. My husbands jobsites get raided once a month. All his guys are legal. If your really an illegal, you should be delighted with Bush's new proposal for immigrants, being that you've worked here before. Good luck on wherever you go. Melani

: : OH GOOD GRIEF MELANI, DON'T BE SENDING CALIFORNIA ANYMORE IMMIGRANTS!! WE HAVE ENOUGH AS IT IS!!
: : Debbie lol

: Sorry Deb, they just have a better chance of working there. Its too easy for them to get caught in Texas. I wanted to help Jerry out, lol...

Yes it would be easier for Jerry to hide here since our entire state seems to be immigrants now..lol And Ca isn't as strict as TX is..
