Kill all vegetarians. Only allow processed food to be bought, sold, served in the States. Problem solved.

I'm good with the killing the vegetarians, don't have anything against them until they step across the line and try to make the price of meat go up or attempt to force everyone to be vegetarian, or make it hard on farmers etc.
I've heard the same things as GSVol.
Remodeling company employed 6 hispanics. The unemployment in the county was over 20% so they made a commitment to only hire locals. In one year they hired and fired 56 people and then gave up.
Another project manager told me his hispanic crews are always on time, never call asking to be bailed out of jail or ask for advances two days after they just got paid.
Personally I've seen two Mexicans out work a crew of four Americans because they didn't stand around watching each other, smoke, make phone calls and gripe about the pay all day.
I hate to say it but part of the unemployment problem is because people are lazy or expect to get paid $20/hr.

Oh yeah I forget the bailing workers out of jail, that was nearly at the top of the list, getting a phone call in the middle of the night and having to saddle up, drive a long ways and bail some doofus out really ticked him off.
It isn't all a one way street, for instance back in '67 I worked for General Motors in LA, the best workers were Philipino immigrants and the worst workers were Mexicans who spent all their time in the men's room smoking pot, but then LA is like another country anyway.
I know another subcontractor that had a contractor go with a mexican outfit becuase they cut his price by about half but then after one job the contractor wanted to hire the subcontractor back but was told since he had gone with someone else he would have to go to the bottom of the list and he was booked up for the foreseeable future, he'd call him if he ever got caught up.
(couldn't have happened to a more deserving creep, the contractor that is.)
One problem for our culture is that teenagers don't really get the opportunities they once had for summer and part time jobs that they once had so that they actually learn how to work get some practical experience in actually being gainfully employed.
The crux of the problem is the wage gap between American and Mexican laborers. It is very true that when it comes to unskilled manual labor the Mexicans are better than the American counterpart, but that is because the pool of talent in the $10/hr range is not that deep for the Americans' side. You are getting down to almost the unemployable for the work that is expected verus the wage paid. Meanwhile, the Mexican laborer will clamor to fill that spot because they split their expenses among 20 others and can still make a living on that wage. After 5 years, they go back to Mexico sitting on a handsome nest egg. What it costs to live in this day, a man cannot make it on what the Mexican is willing to accept.
Back in '67 I bought 7 tacos for 17 cents in Tijuana.
I'm not so down on the economic aspects, especially for controlled immigration whereby the workers apply and receive work visas but it is idiotically insane not to even attempt to control who crosses the border into the country.
Too many workers hurts the whole economy.
Increasingly these days criminal elements are coming across and setting up shop here.
Then there is the aspect of terrorist infiltrators who can see an easy way to make some serious jihad on down the road.
