What the US really need is a new CCC(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps) for young poor people with no prospects.

There are plenty of people for low skilled “dirty” jobs(construction, farm work etc...) already in the states. However they have no self-discipline and companies have to pay them minimum wage. A program to get these kids off the streets, give them “three hots and a flop” and help them learn self discipline would go a long way towards fixing some of the social problems in the US.

As it stands the US is just increasing the size of its permanent underclass with illegals. Pretty soon the US really will be a 3rd world country.

Why should the government offer them jobs? That’s why illegals come here.

FYI, Clinton sold the “midnight basketball” and it was a flop.

So you think a new CCC wouldn’t be UNION, huh?
