Just think, if we didn't have all these illegals in our country taking up say Concrete Work, Landscaping etc. Than young men who aren't necessarily suited for college would have access to good paying jobs. Teaching them the value of hard work and an appreciation for the fruits of your labor when the government takes it from you.

The reality is that the typical American youth do not want to do physical labor jobs: most want to be chiefs, and as in the past, immigrants do them. However, that does not justify being illegal, while the problem is more with liberal educated elites who create the policies.

Why Don't Young Americans Want to Do Construction Work? | Builder ...The majority of young adults (74%) say they know the field in which they want to have a career. Of these, only 3% are interested in the construction trades.

The 63% of undecided young adults who indicated there was no or little chance they would consider a career in the trades no matter the pay were prodded about the reasons for their resoluteness. The two most common reasons are wanting a less physically-demanding job (48%) and the belief that construction work is difficult (32%). They were then asked if there was any compensation level that might entice them to reconsider a career in the trades. For slightly more than 20%, that number is either $75,000 or $100,000, but for the plurality (43%), there is no amount of money that could make them give the trades a second thought.

Yeah well, hunger is a strong motivator.
