I have got to regretfully agree. In the past I have been in various levels of management. When I was younger I worked with immigrants from central America. Not one of them was other than a good, hard worker. Not one of them was a crook. And all of them had really good attitudes and were a pleasure to have work for me.
Years later I had another experience with management that was rather different, this would have been about ten years ago. I had no immigrants working for me, only born and raised Americans. Those older than about 30 or 35 were good, intelligent, hard workers. Those younger were totally unmotivated and frankly LAZY. About the only thing that would have gotten them moving was a whip or a good swift kick. That was one of the most frustrating experiences of my working life. If it had not been for a need to fill the schedule adequately, I would have cut them all loose.
The problem is not ultimately immigration, illegal or otherwise. The problem is young Americans who want and expect things to be handed to them on a silver platter. I tell my children that my mother raised me with standards that were perhaps passing away when she was young. I actually like work, and not just for the paycheck. I have a very hard time dealing with people who don't like to work.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on the matter, as poorly thought out as they might be.
