Professor George Borjas made precisely this point in a debate over the merits of mass immigration, which took place on Ben Wattenberg's "Think Tank" several years ago.

Yes, the landscapers he hired to tend his garden were paid higher wages-and thus, took a bigger chunk out of his paycheck-but they did just as competent a job as illegal aliens who are paid minimal wages and day laborers who essentially have no contractual rights in their relationship with their temporary employers.
