I know this is going to get me flamed, but have you guys seen the WAY the Mexicans work? Generally, from my observation, they have a work ethic that is unimpeachable. I think it's still possible for a hard working teen to get a job in fast food, etc., but as soon as he starts complaining about coming in early or needing time off to go to Spring Break, Pedro, with his 4 kids to feed, will be right there. Everyday. All day.
Look, I don't have a solution. But we have to face the fact that the values of some American workers add to this perfect storm of cheap labor, Mexican poverty, and porous borders.
Yes. Their quality doesn't come close to lazy-ass white boys. I hired a crew of them from an employment agency - I had to watch them like a hawk. They are there ready to work right on time and ready to leave right on time, too. They also don't like to take time off on silly holidays like July fourth.
I've also been in two-bedroom apartments that they've divided with make-shift walls, built bunk beds and sleep in the living room housing 6-8 people. That is how they are able to take jobs that "Americans won't do." Illegals are lowering our standard of living, corrupting our political system, corrupting our culture, destroying our healthcare system, and milking the welfare state.
Americans have proved that if we were the ones who had to sneak into a country to provide for our families we would've had a revolution a long time ago.
Illegals would rather sneak than fight for economic justice.
Tijuana. Been there, done that.
I've worked with many white co-workers who have unimpeachable work ethics. The same with black and Asian co-workers.
Is that what you foresee for the average American? To be at work seven days a week?
What about raisind a family and being able to spend time with your children?
Are you one of those who complains about the lack of parenting to children in our society?
