Cut out some free taxpayer provided college scholarships, end some welfare money --- there will be more than plenty of Americans willing to work.

This is how my mother came to the US during the 1960s. The US government had a visa program for educated women (which my mom was) to come and work in the hospitality industry in New York. The black power movement told Americans that being housekeepers and all that was beneath their blackness. America was a hard working immigrant paradise at the time where you could get as many jobs as you can stand. Now? Now I will do almost any job myself to make money to pay for college and all that. However, the pay is so ridiculously low cleaning up toilets used by morbidly obese people is hardly worth it. It's not that American kids don't want to work. Who wants to scrub toilets for $5.00 an hour ON THE BOOKS?
