Perhaps Americans won't do migrant labor because of pay. Garbage handlers in my area earn at least $18 per hour, plus benies. Think they'd switch?

Over the generations we have received optimistic pepople from every part of the world. By tradition and by history we are a welcoming society. Every generation of immigrants has reaffirmed assimilating newcomers.

Between 1891 and 1920 we received 18 million men and women from other nations. The children of immigrants helped liberate the land of their ancestors.

If illegals didn't undercut American workers, migrant labor would pay a living wage.
