I have a different view of the situation.

I was here back in the 70's and if memory serves me right I don't remember any employment problem. Back then the places to work were Crustbuster, Speedking JAG and a few other manufactures I can't remember right now. These place employed lots of people and paid well, th difference was they hired locally not imports. Dodge City was growing at a steady pace but the town was still clean.

When the packinghouses came it employed locals and things were pretty good but Americans have that terrible idea that they should be paid well for hard dangerous work. Its not that Americans, not just Whites, don't want to work. Its that Americans tend to challenge an employer when working pay don't fit working conditions. Imports are use to hard dangerous work for little pay. That is the real deal here.

Cheap labor. Workers who are willing to do hard work for little pay and not complain. Illegals fit like a glove. They don't dare complain from fear of being deported. There are many states with out of work Americans that could be brought to town, but then it would only be a matter of time before they realize the pay don't compensate for the work.

By the way I seen an ad on TV the other day for National. Starting pay is $11 which is a long ways from $16.
