We had a plumber do some work yesterday, an older Vietnamese man who had immigrated here 4 years ago. It's pretty amazing, a foreigner that probably knew very little English was able to start his own business. We have so many people, native born Americans, who received a free public education that can only whine and moan there are no opportunities for work. Pretty pathetic.
It is also possible that a native-born American (AKA a real citizen) was TRYING to reach up the ladder for success at a 1st job or better job and it was taken away from them by a legal or illegal intruder whose parent NEVER paid US taxes or served in the US Armed Forces.
