Illegals in the LA area routinely make $15 or $20 per hour, many needed to be made supervisors due to the employers hiring nothing but Spanish speaking illegals, and they needed someone that could communicate in Spanish and broken English to the company owners.
Many illegals are now making more income than citizens.
Don't forget that's tax-free, too. That makes it the equivalent of you or I (who presumably PAY taxes) making 30-40 bucks an hour.
