My son ran into a similar problem in the Mira Mesa area of San Diego. The difference was that the jobs were all held by asian kids. He finally landed a job when his asian buddies put in a good word for him. He is fortunate to have a broad enough circle of friends to circumvent the current round of "preferences" that has arisen. He's currently serving with the Marines in Kuwait, but the issue of locking down work again will surface when he returns.

God Bless you, your son, and the USMC. May he come home safe and soon.
