Here you can go down to a certain area and pick up day laborers (illegal hispanic immigrants) for $8.00 an hour. The live 6 - 10 guys per apartment have no cars, no insurance, or any other responsibilities. Sure they send money back to Mexico or where ever but the average wage in Mexico is what? So these guys can work one or two days a week and make more than they can in a month in Mexico.
Sorry, but I can't afford to work for those wages. Why are the wages so low? because there are so many of them that someone is always willing to do it cheaper. Why because they have few expenses and are supporting families hundreds or thousands of miles away with a cost of living that is 1/20th of here. If there were greater controls on immigration, labor prices would increase to a point that kids starting out and those in need could afford to work as laborers. > > To me that's the crux: you were not willing to work for the amount of money > that the illegals were.
