Actually, it's a vicious cycle. The reason the Americans don't want the jobs is that now those jobs are considered to be the domain of Hispanics. It is not the nature of the work itself that makes them undesirable, it is who you have to work with that does.
Absolutely right! How dare people put their livlihood, and the financial security of their families above the needs of those poor, wretched souls who illegally break into our nation, and those who illegally employ them, in the name of higher profit margins. How dare people think of themselves and the economic stability of their nation, much less national security, when there are outsiders who need a free college education! For shame! < /sarcasm >

I'm in the Chicago suburbs right now on vacation. Not only the fast food chains, but clerks and the like in Walgreens, department stores, private bakeries, supermarkets, craft shops, gift shops, golf driving ranges, on and on, are disproportionally foreign-born.
We have to get over the fixed idea that immigrants only do yard work, hole-post digging and motel housekeeping. They have flooded the entry-level job market in most categories.
Although affable enough, many can't speak English except for rudimentary phrases, answer questions or make correct change. Customer service is now at a long-time low, and nobody seems to care.
Meantime, American-born kids can't get these jobs as the few openings are quickly filled and kept by foreigners who have no interest in going to college or movin' on up, just spending their money or sending it abroad to their families.
As Rush puts it, minimum-wage jobs for younger folks are "training" for the big, wide, adult business world out there.
Guess this training is now just for immigrants and illegals.

Same in OK and AR.

Wrong. She volunteers her time, for free.
The Illegals use this small community church's Sunday school class as "daycare". They drop off their kids then disappear, often returning well after services have long ended.
Read #255. And take your race baiting somewhere else......Here, I'll give you a quote from my post.
Areas of once nice homes and neighborhoods now filled with 20 or 30 people to a house, involved in every criminal act known to man? So bad that every good neighbor, regardless of race has fled.
Ever seen the organized gangs made up of illegal aliens that prey upon the innocent Hispanics, women and children, or anyone else that crosses their path? Brutal people that don't give a damn about you. People that aren't afraid of your laws or your jails....
No. That wasn't the post I responded to, nice DU tactic, though..
You claim to know legal status by sight. That makes you magic or racist, take your pick.
By the way, illegal scumbag aliens aren't just taking the car wash and housekeeping jobs from unskilled Americans. They're taking skilled jobs as well, like the 15 or so illegals hired illegally by a telecom cabling company I used to work for in suburban DC. We Americans and the couple of legal Canadians we had on the crew were making $15-25 an hour for our skills, while our illegal scumbag colleagues were hired on 1099s, and paid $8-10 an hour, after producing false paperwork to get their jobs. They drove their cars and trucks with no insurance. They moved their families into company housing. Worst of all, they were so sure the INS wouldn't do a damn thing about it, they openly bragged about how they were illegal and weren't paying any freakin' taxes! When I and a few others were laid off, later word had it we were replaced by temporary labor and yet more illegals.
You may have a beef with hard working Americans and legal immigrants who are seeing red over this invasion, but I have a major stinkin' beef with mamby-pamby CommieLib do-gooders who see the issue through rose-colored glasses. When and if you lose your job to some damn diseased illegal scumbag alien, maybe you'll be a little more frosted, and understand why some of us "fear for our jobs and our income". Get your head out of the sand, wonk boy.

Fair enough and good for her.
