"just to provide Americans jobs who are not willing to work for $7/hour."
The illegals won't work for $7/lhr either and don't.
Even the lowest of them, the street pickups, won't work for less than $8/hr CASH, lunch, and free transportation.
If the people hiring them made and paid the deductions like they do to americans the illegls wouldnt work for $8/hr, they would demand $12.
Most of the ones with steady employment make $20/hr, still cssh, and more.
Even the ones hired by landscapers which I consider grunt no talant labor make $20/hr and more.
Do you really believe those numbers you just spouted off?
I know plenty of people who are working for $5 to $7/hour now and they are not illegals. I know people who hire migrants every year and they don't get paid anywhere near $7/hour. Not sure where you live but it sounds rather unique to me.
