You may be right - for some, desperation will be a powerful motivator. But we've also got a whole 'nuther issue with folks who've found illegal activity preferable to seeking work, whether the economy is good or bad.

First, this is just ridiculous, "The other thing is the poor physical shape of the work force. A generation that has been employed in sedentary and "lighter" work won't cut it."
Second, folks generally only turn to illegal activities when the society does not provide a legal resource for them to prosper.
