I think the government pumped money into the immigration walkout so that they could guage what sort of impact the immigrants have, and also try and measure exactly how many are here.
Watch now as they slowly ween companies off immigrant predominant labor and create programs or incentives for companies to hire middle class tax payer citizens.
When I grew up I used to see the kids of middle class parents working at Taco Bell, Carls Jr, Dominos, etc… Seems like now most of those kids are in construction or don’t work at all because their parents are paying for everything for them(home equity debit card?). Maybe this isn’t reality but it sure seems that way to me…
I think those Taco Bell jobs might start getting filled by the middle class again if stuff starts to hit the fan.
