I tell you what. Why don't you check...Starbucks is about to end benefits for their workers. Most service jobs do not offer benefits to workers. Did you never work in a low paying retail, security type job...born rich I guess. Well, I worked my way through college and have had part time jobs and full time jobs over the years for various reasons. I have seen the employment picture for service (retail, food, security)up close . It is not a pretty picture. Also, Mexican workers have really lowered the salaries in many of these industries-double edged sword-immigration and free trade.

Why don't you check? You made the assertion that service jobs have few or no benefits. How many employees does Starbucks have? Is it close to the 140 million Americans that have jobs? Or is it a tiny fraction of 140 million? I'll repeat myself, I work in the service sector and my benefits are great. As long as we're just going to use anecdotes, mine proves that all service sector benefits are great.

Also, Mexican workers have really lowered the salaries in many of these industries-double edged sword-immigration and free trade.

I agree, we need to close the border and send the illegals back.
