Yeah, a topic everyone is avoiding. Well, first, I think legalizing marijuana would still bring less revenue in tax verses letting people from foreign countries work. Seriously, any person (hopefully) can manage to live without pot, but there is no one on this planet who can survive without basic things like food and home and at least a bus pass. As Americans who also came to this land a few centuries ago and dislocated Natives it is hypocritical to forbid others to have their chance to build a home in a democratic country full of empty lands. I'm not saying let's allow everybody to come but those who have already made it here and who obey the law should have a chance to earn their piece of bread. A person can not just sit around not working, not eating and not enjoying the benefits of "democracy".
Well, I know those of you who are on this page get my point, if not I would like to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Going back to the topic of WHERE to find a part-time job for cash. First of all, don't try to find something in a small town, you have to be in a huge city. At the same time you know you'll get minimum wage and maximum work. I've heard through friends that most of the time it's Indians, Asians and Hispanic who can help to get a "part-time job". They usually look for people of their culture and don't trust somebody from the street. So it's all about connections. In my case, I'm not Asian or Hispanic or Indian and I live in a pretty small student town. So the jobs I worked at were mostly on-campus: catering, posing for drawing classes, cleaning, etc. There are jobs like ebay, translations online and helping friends with yard sales, baby sitting your friend's kids, and definitely jobs where you can get tips - all those can help you stay on a flow. It is hard, sometimes hungry but there is only one thing I want to leave with you. Do not break the law, because if one day you get a chance to get a green card or a citizenship those jobs can ruin your dream. Choose carefully and let's all hope the law will be less strict so that one day we can all work and pay for our meals.
"SAN DIEGO, California- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took a stand against anti-illegal immigrant groups saying, "There are jobs that lots of people who live here legally won't do. Unless you protesters will take these jobs just shut up." The governor's remarks were made after a sweep of the San Diego Zoo found there were some illegal immigrants working there." Vague but True newspaper (Oct 26, 2011)
There are other sources where people discuss the subject and I found them pretty interesting
