Immigration and the Workforce

After working in kitchens cooking peoples food in restaurants for 5 years I have come across many illegal immigrants. Working with these illegal immigrants allowed me to experience their point of view on how they live. First of all just because someone is “Mexican” that does not mean they are a good worker. Illegal immigrants does not mean “hard worker”. Many of these illegal immigrants work just as hard as the average American, they just seem to have the worst jobs. Particularly that is true but most of these illegal immigrants cannot speak English fluently, that’s why they’re not getting the best jobs. In order to be able to perform a job you have to be fit for the job. That’s also the reason why many of these illegal immigrants are the dishwashers simply because it is a job that needs to be done and does not require much skills or even knowledge. It’s a funny concept because this is what actually makes up America. I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many illegal immigrants are working in New York City illegally. This does not mean that these illegal immigrants took our jobs it simply defines American jobs.
