Lawn care workers used to be American teens. Most of the boys I grew up with had lawn jobs or their own lawn companies during the summers. Many paid for college through lawn work. One kid I knew plowed snow from driveways before school in the winter (I used to ride with him) and did lawn work in the summers. He was one hard working and rich kid.

Illegals took work from American teen boys. They robbed the culture of teenage work. I despise that.

I am on the board of an HOA in OKC. High end neighborhood that covers 1/2 square mile. The annual lawn service / maint contract is 60k a year. We’re contracted with an enterprising young man who is in his late 20’s. And everyone he employees is hispanic. Young enterprising “boys” these days play xbox and watch Youtube while their parents support them. I was a kid in the 60’s too... and it like it was then.
