When I was coming up,many white middle class kids took summer jobs at Tahoe casinos and hotels.Now its almost all Mexicans,probably illegals,doing those busboy and kitchen jobs.The white kids now are hanging out on the beach at their jet skis or perhaps hooking up with dad's law firm for a summer internship.
I was taught early that hard,dirty work was no disgrace.Thats not the attitude today of most white or black kids out here in California.

I'm 28 years old, can't say I've had the same experience.

Child labor laws need to be reformed as soon as the fence is built. Most employers will not hired kids as it is not economically feasible especially when compared to illegals.

All things equal would you hired a child and have to pay comp and all the withholding versus hiring an adult. In most cases an adult will do a better job. And since illegals tend to take the jobs our children used to do....?
