I don’t know when it changed or IF it changed but I was shocked about ten years ago when I took my buddy to the most available SS office so he could file for his regular benefits. He went in and I struck up a conversation with Security Guard. I asked him what was point of all the 23-27 year old Hispanics going in? He looked at me and said “ They can’t speak English, so they obviously can’t work, right?” My buddy was told to come back after he made an appointment!
My sister visited this week from East TN, they live up near Dollywood/Smokies area, in the tourist traps restaurants, lodges etc. employers are PAID $3,000 per each student to hire Asian college students for the Summer, they are not required to do much actual work; plus all the Federal Income Tax they pay in is RETURNED to the students when they return home after the tourist season. That leaves the local American College students without jobs or find it hard to locate jobs. Another tax loophole to close.
