When you're at the bottom all you can do is go up.
Exhibit A: While you will see illegals cleaning and cooking at say the Pancake Inn, you don't see them at Applebee's. Hum? A casino WILL bring more Applebee's type eateries than Pancake Inn's. A better quality of businesses WILL follow a casino and better quality businesses are less likely to hire illegals.
Right now most businesses don't care about who they hire because our demographics make it unnecessary. Once we start seeing an increase in visitors, and we will, businesses will start being a bit more concerned about their image. Catering to clientèle is only good business, and what got us where we are to begin with. Once the clientèle changes, so will the businesses.
We will see a domino affect, you wait and see. | All supposition. Dodge is not Vegas. I still have to be convinced that a casino will ever be built in SW Kansas. Sebelius seems to have a giant hard on for this area. If and when a casino is built here...what giant influx of tourists do you think will come here? From where? It'll be pensioners on a tourbus coming from all the small towns around Dodge and I don't think that they particularly care if Jose that cleans the ashtrays out or Maria that makes the bed in the hotel speaks English or is here legally. They just want a warm stool in front of a hot slot and a cocktail waitress that understands "Una mas cerveza, por favor."
