not only taking jobs from minorities with the least skills but also teenagers. there are a few studies that came to that conclusion (even one from the
feds) but common sense and anecdotal evidence would tell you the same thing. In high school during summer breaks i worked carpentry, construction, and even as a messenger. It didn't take much to find those jobs but nowadays with the influx of mexican and latin american illegals in the NYC area it's hard as hell for high school kids to find jobs, which is really important to building work ethic and what not early on.
Yea i get it that people come here to improve their lives but there are about a billion people on this earth who's live needs improving and you can't expect a nation to take on everyone to the detriment of their own people, especially when there are legal means of coming and staying here.
