Yes, we had a thread on this - in which I established that 80% of Alabama's employment gains in Q4 2011 were in agriculture: Essentially, illegal migrant workers were replaced by citizens.
I hardly consider that "working wonders". My Q4 2011 job here in Michigan was in information technology; those are the jobs we need to focus on, not putting Americans to work as migrant labor, earning less than minimum wage and sucking down public resources such as food stamps because their work still leaves them in poverty.
Yes, we discussed this - and you didn't disagree with any of my conclusions; all you could do was lamely agree that such jobs were indeed miserable ones. Your point was that even a miserable job is better than no job at all.
That's hardly the kind of policy that one can describe as "working wonders".
