Wanting a day off for an important event is “entitlement-minded,” but stealing into a country where you have no right to be and taking a job you have no right to take is acceptable in your world?

Wanting a day off for an important event is “entitlement-minded,” but stealing into a country where you have no right to be and taking a job you have no right to take is acceptable in your world? Looking at it strictly from the business/employer's point of view -- absolutely, because the government has no right, morally nor Constitutionally, to force me or you to pay an unskilled teenager more than he is worth. Yet it does, hence the Mexican even wants the job he "has no right to," in your book.

I would be inclined to grant that the Prom night was important and try to accommodate it, but ... what about the right of the employer to pay what is equitable to his employees?
