Down here, I often see Latino and Latina immigrants take low-wage, low-skill service positions, particularly in fast food, domestic work and janitorial sectors. These are jobs that most American citizens would pass on, even American citizens who don't really have marketable skills.

As an aside, I recall being startled when I first visited Atlanta in 1990 and saw AfAms doing mall janitorial work at Underground Atlanta. By that time in California, more than a few blacks didn't do that kind of work or work as domestics in private homes.
