I think it’s just a sign of the times. More illegals here in the country and they’ve taken many of those jobs away from the middle class kids. But how is the government going to provide incentives to hire them?
Part of the problem is the motivation factor. Put yourself in a managers shoes. Are you going to hire some 18 yr kid who needs some extra spending money and can’t wait to get off work to go party or are you going to hire the immigrant who is trying to support his family. Who do you think will show up on time everyday ready to work hard for you. I’ve been in those shoes and I’d hire that immigrant 90% of the time.
