Well once again you spout off untruths...I have done hard dirty manual labor as both a teenager and a young adult and worked alongside many others.
I see you are still pimping for your low cost workers and ignoring the legal immigrants/citizens who's wages would be higher without all the illegals. I for one am sick of paying taxes to support profits from exploitation of illegals going to those that hire them. Our country's future is at stake and you are one of those helping to tear it down.
If we need more workers, it should only be after a proven need, be they IT or laborers. Wages should be determined by the market supply and demand. Any guest workers should be for a limited maximum one year period and not include families who use the schools, hospitals and other public benefits, and who have anchor babies by the thousands. Any pregnant workers should be sent back to their country of origin to have their baby in their own country at their own expense, not at my expense.
Tell me why should I pay taxes for schooling, medical and prison incarceration for illegals who shouldn't be in this country? Is it so you can profit from their labor? Then aren't you being subsididized by my tax dollars? I consider that rank socialism, robbing me of my money so you can benefit. In effect, you are picking my pocket. How is an American who tries to get these things or even work in Mexico or other foreign countries treated?
"Teenagers have never done the hard dirty manual labor that adult immigrant males and blacks have done."
When I was 12 y/o my dad got me a job with a fence contractor and I mixed cement, dug post holes all day. It was hard labor, and paid well.
I made more than as a 13y/o than they pay illegals. Its exploitation. The businesses don't care because after these people can no longer work, they will just try to go on disability or welfare.
Economists call it an "externality".
It is where a business cuts its costs by dumping its costs on others. Like getting taxpayers to build your sports stadium. Or scrimping on pollution controls and letting the people around your plant die of cancer or emphysema. Or bringing in illegals and letting the taxpayer pick up the social services and law enforcement tab.
