These are the -ahem- "day laborers" who make like $14, $15 an hour hanging sheetrock, right?

I make $11 on an armored car crew, had to buy my own weapon, necessary permits for same, and body armor, have a clean driving and criminal record, and otherwise be trustworthy and kind.

When did non-skilled, or marginally-skilled, illegals start making more than Americans?

Time to learn sheetrocking, then, I'd guess. I used to do day labor to supplement the income from my home-based business when it was just getting started back in the 1970s.

I joined the crowd and lined up, just like everyone else. Guess what? I got hired first...every time...ahead of all the illegals.

I did framing, finish carpentry, and roofing. I hated that work, so I was glad when my business started earning enough to stop doing that.

Want to earn those kind of wages? Get a skill and go down there. Even better, you could get an actual job with a contractor and not have to line up.

English-speaking guys get picked first.
