The government crackdown on illegal immigration has created more job opportunities this holiday season for senior and teen U.S. citizens, says Renee Ward, founder of career sites http://www.seniors4hire.org/ and http://www.teens4hire.org/.

Laws that allow high profile raids, deportation and punish employers of illegal immigrants and a recent program that lets employers check if a person can work legally in the U.S., have brought seniors and teens back in favor with many employers that need to hire seasonal, temporary, and or part time workers, Ward says.

“U.S. born seniors and teens are perfect candidates for holiday jobs that need to be filled. Many seniors are just looking for something to do and teens need experience and a little extra money for their necessities,â€
