Perhaps it is different where you live, but in North Virginia, teenagers don't do manual labour.  The closest they will ever get is working the back warehouse at Safeway and even then the turn-over at the Safeway where I live is measured in weeks.
I am just not buying the myth that undocumented aliens are taking jobs away from good ole Americans. I just don't see Americans, these days, doing that sort of work.
And as an American, I really don't want to pay the salaries that Americans would expect for manual labour.
My solution has always been to make it easier for them to become citizens. Anyone who wants to come to my country and work hard, I am welcoming them with open arms. |
$50 !?
holy crap, what the hell is wrong with these kids?
i would have jumped at the chance to earn $50 that easily
