H-2B’s are what Trump uses for his resorts, and his excuse was he couldn’t find Americans for the jobs. So if Trump wins I doubt he’d oppose something like this. It’ll have to come from the grassroots.

We just got back from Nags head on vacation. While there we were waited on quite a few servers at restaurants that were from Europe. I asked what brought them here and they said work, jobs are here.

When speaking to several restaurant owners, hotel employee’s, and other businesses they said that many restaurants and hotels can’t open because lack of workers. They recruit from Europe because those folks are willing to come and work in USA.

The crab plant on the bay can’t get any workers other then foreigners to pick crab meat.

My husband and I were shaking our heads. What has happened to American youths, teenagers, college kids who don’t want to work in restaurants, hotels, factories, etc. Is it beneath them or is it because so many parents don’t encourage their kids to work anymore outside of school. Husband and both worked at age 15 forward. I worked in a restaurant and so did he for many years in high school.

I do see there is a major labor shortage and its our own fault because I do believe parents are raising spoiled little brats who give them everything and never teach them to work for things anymore. I have quite a few friends who won’t let little Johnny or Annie work, its more important to attend school, play video games, and socialize because working would stress their kids out. Bleecchhh.

Just my observation and listening to businesses and owners in Nags Head.

As I wrote in earlier post when we were in Nags head on vacation few weeks ago we were at restaurants where people from Europe were waiting on us- spoke to Hotel Managers, Restaurant owners who said they can’t get Americans to work in the hospitality, factories, restaurants so they recruit from Europe. They have quite a few restaurants and hotels built but can’t open because they have no workers.

I realized this is our own fault as Americans because parents today don’t encourage their kids to work outside of school anymore. Back in my day, every kid worked when they turned 16. Now it seems like its beneath them. Parents today give their kids everything from spending money, cars, video games, cell phones for free and don’t teach them a work ethic, if you want something, work for it. Just my observation.

I didn’t realize the shortage until we started talking to folks in the industries down South. They have a crab plant and have to hire foreigners because Americans won’t work there picking the crab meat out out of the crabs that are caught daily in the bay.

Just sad....
