Look, I am going to be honest with you. I got a new store to staff, opening in January. I already have management in place and I am starting to work down the totem pole. But let me tell you my experience in regards to those "third worlders from the south". I saw it decades ago and it has not changed. I saw those immigrants coming in to cook at the restaurant. They would work eight hours in a factory then come pull six or seven in the restaurant. On their day off, and yes, most of the time it was one day, they would show up dressed to the nines with their family, and have a nice meal. They drove nice cars, and most of the time they lived with others, sharing expenses. But here is the thing. Their wives stayed home with the kids, they saved money, they showed up every day and worked hard. They were dedicated.
A prime example are the Hmong. My daughter is a realtor and the Hmong are a pretty good niche market to work. In my previous business I had a couple of them working for me. First, there is Pappasun. He is the leader. He buys a house, all his adult children, and their children, live in that house. They all work, usually multiple jobs, and their paychecks go to Pappasun. His wife buys the groceries, cooks the food, and provides for those adult children. But everything left over at the end of the month is paid on the house. Six, seven years, the house is paid for. So, they buy another house and the oldest adult child moves into that house. But the process continues, Pappasun still collects all the paychecks. Now, he takes care of the oldest, takes care of the others, and everything else goes to pay on the second house. Six, seven years. That house is paid off. The next oldest gets a house. When Pappasun dies, the oldest son steps in and continues the process. It is a beautiful system.
But here is the deal, I will take one Hmong, or one immigrant from the South, over five white kids living in Mom's basement.
