Many kids can’t compete with the low wage Latino workers at all of the fast food joints, whether they be legal or illegal. I live in a suburb of Chicago and my local McDonalds is now almost totally Latino run. Barely any whites at all, teenager or otherwise. There is one older white woman, and that’s about it. A couple of blacks. But, primarily, it is all Latino. Same at other fast food restaurants, Burger King, KFC, Wendy’s, you name it, they are all chock full of minorities, mostly Latino. The white kids have gone the way of the dodo bird. And this is in a primarily white suburb, although that is rapidly changing now also. I go to my local Walmart and it is like the Tower of Babel. Hmmm, very soon I will be the minority. Good thing I’m retired and not trying to find a job.
Out in South California all McDonalds are “Little Mexicos” you must speak Spanglish to work there as all the orders and talk is in that language. Heck you almost need to speak Spanish to order. The Latinos have driven out the High Schoolers and Blacks. The Latinos are good hard working folks to be sure but I wonder of its all that good for the nation as a whole.
