Okay, I take that as you will be applying for a vegetable picker or janitorial job tomorrow.

Between the ages of 14 and 22, I pulled tobacco, harvested Christmas trees, flipped burgers, was a bellhop at a resort and did construction work, among the various jobs I held before college graduation, and I was glad to have all of those jobs. I even cleaned my own toilet. People haven't changed that much since the 80s. What has changed is that there are overwhelming numbers of people, noncitizens, who will do that work while being paid off the books, who have no means of taxpayer identification, and there are employers who are willing to prostitute themselves and break the law right along with them to save a few bucks. And, these noncitizens are getting medical treatment at no charge. There are very few US citizens willing or even able to potentially go up against the IRS and state tax collectors, for a severly depressed wage, with no benefits whatsoever.
And you're cheering this corruption on, because there is some short term profit in doing so. There's short term profit in cutting corners in whatever you do, but it will eventually come back to haunt you. The same is true with this illegal immigration problem.
