Have you ever seen how hard 'Mexicans' work? I have worked hard my whole life, but never anything close to the hard work I see those who work for me do. And, for such little pay. All legally in the U.S., but again, they work so hard it's scary. Willing to do almost anything to help their families.
Good question, and I think it sort of worked out for the best. So much progress with things like Clean Air, work environments, worker safety, and the rest. But, the bubble eyed illusions were tempered with reality, so people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were able to start and run great companies.
I am seeing a drop off in this work ethic. Those born in Mexico are very hard working. Their children not so much. Graduation rates are very low and Government support is very high. It all leads to less incentive to work hard
If they are the only one's paying federal taxes , yes. You got a problem with that , talk to the hand.
