That just says there is a preference for the desperate over the free. Unlike people that can afford the luxury of refusing work, desperate individuals are easier to manage - especially if they lack citizenship. Encouraging it only makes for a backstabbing workforce.
People have bent themselves enough in their job search. Get rid of the fraud and abuse relating to noncitizen labor - then one can talk about laziness.

Amen! ... with one quibble - the H-1B noncitizen labor program is not hurting working Americans through "fraud and abuse" but by design:

Trump cleaning up illegal immigration would be a start.
