I may append it, but still stick by my guns.
50 feet from me are 6 illegals who have jobs that might have gone to some of the kids graduating from this City's Vo-Tech school.

I don't doubt that. But I think we've been operating under different definitions of 'teens'. You're referring to teens who have graduated from vo-tech schools (indicating that they're 18 or 19) & who are considered 'adult' in the workforce. I've been talking about kids under 18 and it's underage workers that I think Walter Williams was talking about in the article...acknowledging that I don't recall WW being specific about the ages of the kids he was writing about.
Obviously, given that my kids are under 18, I've been posting from that angle. And, given that I live in Wisconsin, the subject of illegal immigrants in my town is of a less pressing nature than it is in areas of the US that are closer to the border. All of that said, the subject of illegals is one must be heavily considered when a youth is mulling over the choices of future occupations. With my oldest son, the one most geared to Vo-Tech types of jobs, I put heavy emphasis on the 'tech' part, the absolute necessity of specialized education & to keep an eye peeled to selecting something that can be owner-operated.
