3. redirect your ire, hold up a mirror
navarette isn't saying that's his position, he's saying employers tell him that unitedstates origin american workers have this "me, me, me" attitude that contrasts with these not-unitedstates american workers (mexico is an american country, you realize that, right?) who want a job. people who want to perform labor in exchange for capital. people who recognize their future as a breadwinner begins with the first step, getting the job. you're far too quick to sling around prejudiced terms like "illegal immigrants". who the heck says anyone is an "illegal" worker? that's a distinction only a court can draw, under the US Constitution an undocumented worker--even a brown-skinned non-english speaker, if that's what you mean by the kyrpto racism of "illegal"--has a presumption of innocence.
