Kids around me are screwed on finding jobs. The livestock guys are hiring the Mexicans and not the local kids. My son worked at two different hog operations and each time the owner started to pay Mexicans cash under the table then let the US kids go. The convenience stores around here will not hire you if you are under eighteen. Can"t because they sell beer and cigarettes, in Iowa you have to be eighteen to sell either. Many restaurants won"t hire you if your are under eighteen if they have a deep fryer. OHSA will not allow kids in a "dangerous" work environment. HAVE you seen that crazy Congress woman from California that wants to make it illegal to hire any one under eighteen to work on farms??? She says it is to stop exploitation of illegal immigrant children. My lawyer says that the law, as written right now, will stop you from hiring too. No more high schoolers putting up hay if this law passes. So many raise cain about how today"s kids will not work but will not say anything about the stupid laws keeping many from working.
P.S. By the way each of the hog farmers that hired the Mexicans got a visit from INS. One is paying a twenty five thousand dollar fine. The other is in hot water with the IRS for not reporting wages. I did not call anyone, but am cheered to see them get what they needed.
