Nothing more pitiful in my eyes than a rich guy who whines night and day that he needs the privilege of violating the law so that he can make a profit.
That's the problem ~ this violating of the law ~ and the destruction of the poor ~ if a fair wage is $60 K per year for a waiter, then you might find cafeteria style service back in style eh?
It is no more fair for you to get a business subsidy for breaking the law than it is for me to shop for new furniture and TVs by breaking into your house!
Even beyond the issue of work ethic, the real problem is demographics. People are having fewer and fewer kids. Meanwhile the population is getting better educated and aging. This is not an issue of a bunch of able bodies not wanting to do work. The real issue is that there are no able bodies. Illegal immigration is the quick fix to our demographics problem. There are not enough willing and able bodies to do the hard jobs that need to be done, at ANY price. If illegal immigrant left this country, there would be millions of jobs that could not get down no matter how much anybody would pay.
