I live in an area with a lot of immigration and one side effect is that "entry level" jobs are just about impossible to get for teenagers and other low-skilled non-immigrant workers because of intense competition[1]. So no, the "average" American may not care about these jobs, but the poorest Americans and those "just starting out" do.

It's ironic to pay lip service to supporting the poor while kicking the ladder out from under them with immigration.

If the avg joe are teenagers and people needing to work as a supermarket clerk, USA might have fundamental other issues...
