I drove from Seattle to Chotau, Montana to see Tom Russell and his band at the rodeo arena the night before the 4th of July in 2007. I've seen him 2 more times at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle. He' a brilliant writer, his songs are little novels and make great videos.
Have always tried to include Tom concerts in my travels - California (Ojai, McCabe's. etc) Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Buctouche New Brunswick, Nova Scotia (Canso, Berwick and Halifax) and have never, ever been disappointed. Sure miss those live concerts.
I don't think Russell means to imply that these are the only jobs that immigrants from Mexico can do. I think he's saying that a lot of people who pretend to be horrified by illegal immigration are profiting from it even as they make rousing speeches about its evils.

Grandma Cookie bravo. 3 true American musical treasures, willing to turn the light upon their own country’s past. That’s a true patriot. Someone who stands in line and cheers the usual patriotic robotic cheers, are the cheers of people who deserve neither liberty or democracy. John prine’s song your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore, or “the great compromise “ are great critique of America. Only the brave critique their country. The spineless ignorant follow each off the cliff of civility
I paid some a few years back to sheetrock a room in my house . They spackled over the electric outlets . I learned my lesson . Cheaper is not less expensive .
96 million out of work? Not very good at math...are you? Or just gullible. There are about 190 million Americans between 18 and 65. 96 million out of work would mean about half of American worker are unemployed. Take your lies someplace else.
A Tom Russell classic . What a great song !
Love this song. Beautiful policital statement! I'm Canadian and played in a Texas bar last year to a largely Hispanic audience who had mot heard it.
interesting, how did they react?
Wow, was he ever ahead of the curve on this one. When I first heard it, I thought he wrote it after Trump got in. Tom Russell is absolutely awesome!
'Can't wait to see Tom this Saturday!

Ya think?
I do think he's talking directly to He who must not be named. You know who....

Right on Tom !
Amen, Brother!
Bob Dylan meets Johnny Cash and says it like it is. Loving this!
Such a treasure.
My hero....wish he was back in British Columbia singing at local bars...what a talent !
Good Idea
110 "likes," two "dislikes."
Make that 178 to 5
Sure, Tom, it's NOT a political statement. So apt for today, SUPER TUESDAY.
I'll build it
That desperate huh?
Mister Trump tare down your wall.
Build bridges, not walls!

WE WILL BULD IT OUR SELFS
Maybe, but who will teach you to spell then?
Hopefully soon, it will be the 96 million out of work. 13' tall.

Americans?
Yeah, right.
@@warrenlauzon5315 We are all North Americans
Tom Russel should go move to the country where he will feel more at home and leave the U.S.
I hear Switzerland is lovely.
