I understand your frustration and I don't disagree with what you say, however in the business's defense I'd have to say that the Mexican's (illegal aliens) usually only get the jobs that Americans don't want. For instance in S.E. Georgia the Mexicans do most of the Blueberry hand picking, Onion planting and harvesting & Pinestraw baling. Trust me when I tell you that the High School kids and most Americans won't do this type of labor work anymore.

They're doing it in my area with few illegals yet, not just teenagers but all ages. We have no problems filling entry-level jobs.

I picked strawberries, blueberries, garlic and the like while a kid......farmers would advertise in the paper every spring to get ready for the season. Not anymore though....all those positions are filled by ILLEGAL LABOR and I'm sure that more than one skateboard shop, movie theater etc.. will suffer for lack of my kids dollars.

Actually, it's a vicious cycle. The reason the Americans don't want the jobs is that now those jobs are considered to be the domain of Hispanics. It is not the nature of the work itself that makes them undesirable, it is who you have to work with that does.
