<<...things our own kids won't even stoop to do?...If we can't get someone to shine our shoes or clean our houses or mow our lawns or flip our burgers on the cheap>> Great society you're describing. Sounds like 19th century India, where indentured Indian servants made possible a life of leisure for wealthy but soft, flaccid, and completely dependent British aristocrats. Since when is cleaning houses, mowing lawns, flipping burgers, etc. too low for our kids to do? I used to do all of these jobs as a kid. Believe it or not, I still mow my lawn and clean the house. These so-called lowly jobs been historically taken care of by kids and others without having to rely on illegal immigrants. I suspect the quickly-disintegrating moral fabric and work ethic in the U.S., based largely in get-rich-quick schemes, would noticeably improve if we put kids back to work on just such tasks.
