Thanks! I had a lovely time, and didn't hear one word spoken in Spanish. Moreover, American kids were working those jobs that Americans “won’t” do.

Why do you always think I'm talking about you specifically?

I meant a lot of you guys think you speak for the masses, as in "WE AMERICANS" "WE TAXPAYERS" "OUR COUNTRY" etc etc

Of course they are, unfortunately, if left up to the devices of the OBL's we will never hear the truth.

Glad you had a wonderful time!

Thanks! Yes, it's shocking, isn't it? Imagine legal citizens actually cleaning hotels, waiting tables, working fast food. I even saw Americans working road construction. I had to pinch myself.

Even in LA there are lots of "Americans" doing road construction.
You see white, black, latino people doing that stuff.

AMC is American and has worked fast food jobs! My first job (2001-2003) was making pizza for Dominos - I don't remember any "illegals" who worked with me either!

We keep hearing that these are jobs Americans won't do. We keep hearing that hospitality, fast food, construction, landscaping are all 'beneath' legal citizens.
