ok...let's generalize about 283,000,000 people in the united states by your
one
example.
in southern california, population 18,000,000, as i stated above, many high school and college students do not work. bill handel of radio kfi los angeles who sets the example for millions of people, said, "my kids are not going to flip burgers". it's looked down upon by "progressive" people.
i don't agree with it.
as the zoe baird embarrassment fell upon clinton, it was obvious that many professional people in the united states hire cheap labor to do work that they themselves are either too busy to do, or, more likely, to good to do.

I suspect that if California was about 4 million people less (if illegal aliens went home), that the jobs they take would soon be filled by jobless Californians, but rightfully at a living wage. These jobs all got done before they came here.
The illegals take jobs from Californians by undercutting. They have single handedly almost taken over entire construction type and gardening jobs, fast food jobs, cleaning lady and nanny jobs, by undercutting Americans, putting lots of guys out of work.
They are able do this by living 12 people to a 2 bedroom apartment, not paying for auto insurance, and having their entire medical care paid for by taxpayers, plus getting checks from the government to take care of their kids. Pretty good deal for them, bad deal for America.
