Illegal immigrants are the only ones willing to do that work for those wages. If the undocumented workers were not here to take the jobs, you would have to pay more to get an American worker to do the same job. It's not so much that people don't want to do the job. They don't want to do it for the wages offered..
I apologize for missing the intent of your post.....but..............
If the job required a higher wage the restaurant would be out of business.....Where I work, we are in the business of giving a fair value, ya know a good product for an affordable price......honesty...true capitalism.......we aren't trying to get the most for the least.....
We also give a fair wage, and are above the industry average......so, find me a young American, who is willing to work, and maybe learn a trade..(no and not go to the ever necessary college...say it ain't so)work their way up the ladder, from nothing.....$9.00 an hour..to executive chef...which I must say, is a more than comfortable living, if you live modestly.....I haven't met one in at least 15 years.....but I see one everyday I look in the mirror..not so young anymore, but by no means old.....
This is what is missing around me...young people who are willing to swallow their pride, and learn something that is hard....they think everything should be spoon fed, and be quick...they lack constitution, and drive.....
But a guy that ate rice and beans everyday growing up, and has been picking fruit in 110 degree 100 percent humidity, under the Ecuadorian sun since he was 8......now that fella will listen, and learn, and perform.......in fact they, because there are more than one, learn English in a matter of weeks, and they do pay their taxes, and abide by the law, and pay the doctor when they go......and have respectable families, and lifestyles.....
Excuse me for editing, but....I believe the key word here is "want", which should be they "really need"......are we as a society so pampered at this point that people can choose whether they will wash dishes for a specific wage?.......If you don't like the wage, better yourself .......and don't cry to me ..the economy, the economy..if you are good, honest, and dedicated, you WILL be successful....I am on neither side of your debate with Tobias..let's just say I represent common sense.....
