Sorry I wasn’t clear.

The issue, at least to me, is that the government and companies are taking advantage of the porous border to fill unskilled jobs with illegals. This is a great situation for the government and companies. Illegals have better work ethics and are easily disposable.

They do have a point. The American underclass lacks the sort of self-discipline they need to improve their lot in life. So what I’m arguing is that we need a new system to deal with the unemployable sectors of society and work on using them as a substitute for illegals.

Regarding unemployment, it depends on where you are. I have the privilege of living in a majority minority area. Minority women don’t have much of a problem, they form the backbone of the economy here. However, minority men are completely unemployable(for good reason).

Something has to give, and fast, or the entire US is going to look like Detroit and LA.

I think we need a bottom-up approach to fixing the problem of a lack of work ethics (lazyness). I don’t approve that government should be responsible for “fixing” a problem that public schools abetted. Ending the cycle of poverty can be accomplished by planting seed of desire to achieve greatness. It starts in the home, fostered by family, church and community.
