Not that I'm from the states or anything (Canada) but the town I live in has a HUGE amount of Migrant workers. Mexicans, Jamaicans, Dominicans, etc. At one point we thought there were more migrant workers then locals in the town...

Anyways, two years before I left for university (so when I turned 16 and was "legal" to work here) I went looking for a job. I tried the obvious, McDonals, Wendies, all the fast food joints. No go, all of the elderly ladies had those jobs (hanging on to them til they die I suppose..), next up I tried Green Houses, that was full of migrant workers. They could afford to pay the migrant workers 6.50 an hour compared to the 9 or 10 $ minimum wage for me. Ok, so I check the fields, same story. NO WHERE. in an entire county could I find work. It finally got to the point I had to cut grass and clean cars/trailers/boats for $$.

That continued til this past summer where I got a job in a green house due to a family connection. Later after talking to my boss he said he was glad I got the job but that I was costing him an extra 2$ because he could have hired a migrant worker instead of me.


Where are the teens you ask? For the most part being lazy couch potatoes... But some, those actually looking for a job are fighting just to get a damn interview because of illegal immigrants and migrant workers...
