Sheesh, 42 of 200? About 20%. This is not a small problem. And how many of those jobs were ones Americans would not do?

The labor rate when I was working DC construction in the 70’s was $6-$8/hr. Normalized to 2006 with CPI or inflation, that’s about $22-$26/hr in 2006 dollars.

In fact the rate paid to illegals in DC is about $12-$16/hr from what we hear anecdotally.

While these 42 were being picked up, somewhere north of 400 illegals crossed over the Mexican border into California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico*.
