You forgot something: at the wages offered to illegal aliens.
I wasn't talking about illegal aliens. I was talking about workers here legally. I never advocated letting anyone here illegally.
And jobs do have intrinsic worth. I'd never pay, say, $50,000/yr. to have my lawn mowed. I'd pave it over first, and so would everyone else. People pay what the job is worth to them. You get paid the worth of your work, and not by what you think you should earn.
If you've ever had a job, you should understand this.
