his vows are no more meaningful than the clergy's vows of celibacy
If you want an economy where every citizen has a chance to be middle class, you have to find some other source of labor to do working class jobs. That's why we shouldn't even want American citizens to do these jobs. Bring in immigrants that get paid well relative to where they came from to do that stuff and send our citizens to school and do middle class work. It's a win-win for all involved.
That's not even mentioning our problem with an aging population that requires immigration to sustain social programs.
