What is interesting about this is that the illegals getting $20/hr are actually probably coming close to or exceeding the median personal income in this area if they are able to work year-round. $20*2000hrs/yr = $40K/yr. If they are avoiding paying taxes (not sure if they do or not) they’re probably doing better than a lot of duh-mericans. This anecdote again proves that the problem isn’t really illegal immigration taking jobs, the problem is employers BREAKING THE FREAKING LAW. Granted, sometimes it’s hard to tell if someone is legal or illegal, so that’s easier said than done…
