My 16 year old son has been out putting in applications every place he can for the past 3 weeks. He still doesn't have a job. No one will hire him because he doesn't have previous work experience. He's 16 for crying out loud!!

Lowes and Home Depot won't hire him because he's not 18. Too much liability. Wal-Mart won't hire him because he doesn't have two previous employers they can call. The department stores are all the same. He can get a job at any one of the burger joints working the midnight shift and, depending on his work ethic, he can be promoted to assistant manager of the night shift before the summer is over, all when he's never held a job before and he's only 16.

Here we have a 16 year old American male, A/B student looking for employment and can't get it because he's never held a job.

My question is, how do all these illegals get jobs in these same places my son is looking for employment at. They're here illegally, my son was born here. They had to fill out the same application as my son. Did these places hire these people because they had the required previous jobs and if so, how did they check on them? Or, did these applicants lie? Well, we already know they don't follow the law, they're here illegally!!!
