But we thought the Left believed illegal immigrants were dreamers?
Your post says it all.
When I went to Air Force basic, the DI asked for anyone who bowled to raise their hands. Those who did so were given the task of cleaning the toilet bowls...
When I enlisted in the Navy, I found out who cleaned the toilets.

Just one of the little ‘duties’ that were intended for the ‘newbies’...
(And from lowly E1 SR to ADM one is always a ‘newbie’ at a new(er) duty station)..
(THE Two best ships one was ever on was the one you just left and the one you are going to)
To add on, in my experience, I don’t recall ‘they’ ever had to really train the New Recruits to do menial tasks.
I had a mother that ensured that I(around 10 at the time)would be able to take care of my sister (3 yrs younger) while she worked at night and that involved keeping the place in order for her to relax and have a quiet smoke and beer when she got home at night.
Remember the GREAT scene in ‘No Time For Sergeants’ (Andy Griffith) where he had the terlets salute the CO...
Should be TI... We Zoomies had Training Instructors, not Drill Instructors...

“Who will clean the toilets?”
All those idiots who graduated with a useless degree in ‘[Womynz | Black | Chicano] Studies’, and $200K of debt.
WILLIAMS: Speaker Gingrich, you recently said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said poor kids lack a strong work ethic and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools. Can't you see that this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?GINGRICH: No. I don't see that.
(APPLAUSE)
You know, my daughter, Jackie, who's sitting back there, Jackie Cushman, reminded me that her first job was at First Baptist Church in Carrollton, Georgia, doing janitorial work at 13. And she liked earning the money. She liked learning that if you worked, you got paid. She liked being in charge of her own money, and she thought it was a good start.
I had a young man in New Hampshire who walked up to me. I've written two newsletters now about this topic. I've had over 50 people write me about the jobs they got at 11, 12, 13 years of age. Ran into a young man who started a doughnut company at 11. He's now 16. He has several restaurants that take his doughnuts. His father is thrilled that he's 16 because he can now deliver his own doughnuts.
(LAUGHTER)
What I tried to say — and I think it's fascinating, because Joe Klein reminded me that this started with an article he wrote 20 years ago. New York City pays their janitors an absurd amount of money because of the union. You could take one janitor and hire 30-some kids to work in the school for the price of one janitor, and those 30 kids would be a lot less likely to drop out. They would actually have money in their pocket. They'd learn to show up for work. They could do light janitorial duty. They could work in the cafeteria. They could work in the front office. They could work in the library. They'd be getting money, which is a good thing if you're poor. Only the elites despise earning money.
(APPLAUSE)
WILLIAMS: Well…
(APPLAUSE)
(CROSSTALK)
WILLIAMS: The suggestion that he made was about a lack of work ethic. And I've got to tell you, my e-mail account, my Twitter account has been inundated with people of all races who are asking if your comments are not intended to belittle the poor and racial minorities.
You saw some of this reaction during your visit…
(BOOING)
… to a black church in South Carolina. You saw some of this during your visit to a black church in South Carolina, where a woman asked you why you refer to President Obama as "the food stamp president." It sounds as if you are seeking to belittle people.
(BOOING)
GINGRICH: Well, first of all, Juan, the fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, I know among the politically correct, you're not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable.
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
Second, you're the one who earlier raised a key point. There's — the area that ought to be I-73 was called by Barack Obama a corridor of shame because of unemployment. Has it improved in three years? No. They haven't built the road. They haven't helped the people. They haven't done anything.
(APPLAUSE)
So…
(APPLAUSE)
BAIER: Finish your thought, Mr. Speaker.GINGRICH: One last thing.
BAIER: Yes, sir.
GINGRICH: So here's my point. I believe every American of every background has been endowed by their creator with the right to pursue happiness. And if that makes liberals unhappy, I'm going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job and learn some day to own the job.
(APPLAUSE)

I, too, cleaned toilets - at an art gallery while going to college. There were even things I liked about that job — especially the paymaster giving us our weekly pay in cash Friday afternoons. There is absolutely no shame in an honest job.
Your platoon had toilets?!
Were you a Hollywood Marine? We had cat-holes, that we had to dig in the snow, with our bare hands, on our way the rifle range, and it was uphill both ways.

clean your own toilet you lazy thing you...

The goal of unbridled Muslim immigration is to create a large group of unassimilated people hostile to the Western way of life: Democracy, Christianity and Capitalism. Those who still believe in the Western way of life will, at some point, scream for protection - no matter what the cost.
The police stat will descend at their request, and serfdom will be re-established.
He stuck his bare hand under the rim of the toilet, and got a hand full of rust. Getting those toilets clean was quite an experience.
The left’s mantra that illegals only do the jobs that Americans won’t do is hogwash. They may well do the menial jobs but they also do higher paying jobs that many Americans would love to do in the building trades for example.
“When I enlisted in the Navy, I found out who cleaned the toilets.”
LOL! I’m Army so me, too. Grease Traps in the Mess Hall as well. I never KNEW there were so many things in this world that required daily cleaning or polishing or waxing and buffing. *SMIRK*
(And yet somehow, I am a better person for it...)
