If I wasn't going off to school I could have been up to $9.50/hr after 6 months. Today, same company, all the grunt crews are illegals, $3.50/hr off the books and that's all the time, not for a probationary month. The drivers are legals or Americans and that's it. It's not that people think they are too good for a job, it's they can't live off what they will get paid because illegals work for nothing and live 20 to a house and do nothing but drink in the yard or work. There is no logical argument that makes it ok.

I'm with you guys. I just graduated from college in 1988, but along the way, I had a paper route, mowed a shitload of lawns, sacked groceries and worked for UPS unloading trucks during the graveyard shift, which was backbreaking work. I just cant fucking believe that kids today won't take jobs like this and put some hard work into their lives. Seems to me that illegals do most of the work I did as a kid less than 20 years ago.
