Illegals may well drive down the cost of housecleaning, gardening, handyman projects, and babysitting to the everyday homeowner who sees their best interest as saving money and letting someone else do work they don't have time for but want done. Until john q public wakes up and realizes they are also an employer and breaking the laws of the land, this problem will continue. These people won't benefit from increased minimum wage laws, they aren't covered in the first place.

Ironic, isn't it, that Americans in many states pay illegals to do their housework and gardening, and then go out and join an expensive gym. We need to dig our own flowerbeds, water our own grass, and raise our own children, for crying out loud.
