I have worked in restaurants my whole life, and I can tell you that there certainly ARE jobs that "Americans won't do". They may get hired to do 'em, but they don't last long. The worst, lousiest jobs in food service are being done by a large percentage of Hispanics (both legal and illegal) because (as was the case with so many of our ancestors) they are willing to work. Hard. Politely. Cheerfully. It is VERY VERY HARD to find average (does that mean white?!) Americans of ANY age to do that kind of work.

I could tell you stories all day.
