American’s – Taking Jobs Foreigners Don’t Want
I’m not sure if this will be charted in the “saved or created” category by the US gov’t, but McDonald’s hired 62,000 part and full time workers during their latest hiring spree, while turning away another 938,000 potential workers’:
McDonald’s and its franchisees hired 62,000 people in the U.S. after receiving more than one million applications, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said today in an e-mailed statement. Previously, it said it planned to hire 50,000.
You won’t find that snippet in the Bloomberg article about the million souls being turned away, it seems to have been scrubbed and replaced by the generally happier news that McDonald’s has hired 62,000 part and full-time minimum wage workers’.
A common theme from the left when it comes to massive, unchecked immigration – illegal or otherwise – is that the west needs illegal immigrants because they do the work North Americans won’t do. Like taking minimum wage service sector jobs. So it came as quite a shock to The Mayor – he was gobsmacked, actually – to find out that over a million Americans applied for minimum wage, part-time jobs that apparently only illegal immigrants will take.
How dare Americans take away jobs from illegal immigrants that will only do the work Americans won’t do? Why are Americans doing the work that illegal immigrants are suppose to be doing? Why do Americans hate illegal immigrants so much?
So many questions, so little time. There is only one question left, the question that is everyones mind: would you like fries with that, senor?

There are THAT many Liberal Arts grads still lookin’ for work? Who’d a thunk it?
Speakin’ o’ Liberal Arts grads… what’s up with the gratuitous apostrophes, Mr. Mayor?

You would think that they could hire a few that speak English, can’t reliably order at our McD’s in Katy TX, most only speak Spanish.
