Come with me tomorrow night to the camp where I do a dance every week in the summer. This is on “Golden Pond” (Squam Lake) in New Hampshire. They have over 100 Russian kids working at this place because they have been unable to get American kids to do anything but be in the Recreation department. When it comes to kitchen help, maintenance, housekeeping, it’s almost all done by foreigners. They are top quality people. They speak English very well and I find them to be hard working and industrius.
When I first started there in 1991, there weren’t any foreign kids working there.
And I just came back from a vacation on the beaches of Delaware. Everywhere I turned the youngsters servering my food, and cleaning my hotel room spoke some slavic language. Considering what it takes to come here illegally from Romania, Russia, or wherever, I’d be willing to bet that most of them are here LEGALLY. Paying taxes, observing and being protected by the laws. Now if you want to have a debate on the amount of legal immigrants the US lets in that compete with native born youths and others, well then you have a point about the amount of people we should allow in legally who will always drive down wages. Its worth debating. But my issue right now is with the illegals. Certainly that should be solved first.
