Come on, have you been in the local Shop Rite or Pathmark. Most of the people working there wouldn't even give you the time of day and if you told them they gave you the wrong change, they'd flip you the bird and tell you to F***k Off.

Problem is they could care less if they get fired because they'll make almost the same on unemployment. We have become an "I deserve it because, look at me..... it's me!" society.

The majority of the jobs that you say Americans compete with the 8-12 million illegals are jobs that, trust me Americans really aren't trying all that hard to fill.

If you haven't noticed, we have become quite a spoiled society. That's is our problem, not there's.

You are right. These people have a rotten attitude and a lack of commitment. But think about it, minimum wage and no benefits doesn't give a person much to look forward too. It is supply and demand. If we eliminated an unlimited supply of workers who will work for poverty wages it will force up the wages for most Americans. Better pay means that workers have something to look forward to and is worth keeping. Let the market set the wages. Illegal immigration screws up the market place by keeping wages too low and it affects you and I.
