I guess the question to be asked is this - are the current crop of illegals as diligent in their work habits as the old bunch. Have they become like the current crop of millennials who feel to entitled to actually do things to earn their paycheck.
Do Venezuelans today work as hard as Mexicans did 20+ years ago? It shouldn’t make a difference, illegal is illegal, but I wonder if that is part of the battle going on.
very true - many longtime “undocumented” have great disrespect for this latest group - partly bc no illegals ever got so much free stuff - bus and plane trips, cash cards, hotel rooms, etc etc - and they are pissed.
plus, just like the Mexican drywallers put the Black drywallers out of business in South LA.
The shoe is now on the other foot.
The other point is that America mostly or partly accepted the masses of 20+ years ago bc many of those were truly interested in working here. The true crime is never actually finding a way to allow for some type of legality.
So the pendulum swung the other way really hard, and now it’s come crashing down, primarily on the necks of the blue cities and states.
Wait until ICE stops and starts taking down the rock throwers - we’ll hear some screaming then -
I’ve worked in food for almost 25 years now. Anyone, any color or country, who serves people is a good human.
We treat our service workers as if they were our servants in some cases. We expect good food and to be able to ignore the people who make it for us if they’re not like us.
so true - especially now post-Covid - food service customers have become insufferable. but the new crop of illegal aliens are not interested in food service, that's seems for sure
Growing up in Northern Michigan and working in restaurants up there, it was not like that at all. Southern Michigan farms had their migrant labor living quarters, but those closed up with the invention of better farm equipment. It's interesting how so many places did weave the undocumented worker into their rates. It's also not a great look for how much these businesses exploit these workers to keep their rates down.

I would have like to have seen that. In fact I kind of wonder why that hasn’t happened yet.
Mrs. Garza approves.
Well said.
