How much does an illegal makes an hour?

Question

Dosn't waitress make $2.00 an hour but in this state you have to claim your tips.

I am just wondering cuz I know that they make more then I do..

Answer 1

Whatever is agreed upon. There isn't a standard fee.

Do you understand that because they are NOT legal, their wages cannot be regulated? This means that if the employer is willing to pay them an amount, and they are willing to accept it, then that's what they make...

They use to make $15/hr at my previous company (doing construction work).

Answer 2

$5

Answer 3

Do you think the illegals are going to file tax returns? Or tell you how much they make so you can report them all and make Big Bucks as a reward from the IRS?

My guess is that illegals make more than they would make at home, which in Mexico is probably nothing since the USA subsidizes its agricultural exports so much that sugar, corn, cotton, tobacco, etc. cost less for Mexico to import than for their unsubsidized farmers to grow. And the US forced Mexico, throught the GATT and now the WTO, and NAFTA, to allow free entry of its products.

So it serves the USA right that the Mexican agricultural workers, their families starving, are swimming across the Rio Grande. For them, 1/2 minimum wage plus room and board is a lot. And of course the Bush crowd love that, since it drives down wages of all unskilled workers in the USA and makes the Friends of Bush and other shareholders in American companies very rich indeed.

So of course taxes had to be reduced for them, too.

If illegals and the very rich don't pay tax, who does? You, most probably. You're paying the shares of both.

There pay will depend on what job they do and who is in charge of the company. For instance if they work in the field picking fruits one company pays 3 dollars an hour and another pays five an hour. And to the guy who answered a while ago a majority of illegal aliens do pay taxes what do you think the ITIN is for buddy.

Answer 5

I have friends that are working in the US illegally in the State of California. They are mostly employed as skilled and unskilled labor in the construction industry. Those who are unskilled make $8-$12 per hour depending on the job that they get that day. The skilled carpenters that have been able to get steady employment with one or two general contractors can earn about $15-$20 per hour depending on their level of expertise.

Answer 6

They make about 7 dollars an hour. They don't file for tax returns. If it wasnt for these illegal immigrants, everything would cost more money. If they want to work for cheap wages, they can.

I live in Brooklyn, New York. When my parents hire contractors to do some work on the house, the contractors hire illegal mexicans. If you go to certain neighborhoods they wait on the corners, like prostitutes, for work. They are really good workers. They work hard, because they get paid based on how hard they work. My dad usually tips them, and my mom usually brings them water. These workers are the best, they're cheap, and they are equivalent to professionals.

Also, when you go out to eat, restaurants hire illegals as chefs, but the food is great.

Answer 7

It depends. What kind of job are they doing, what state do they live in...etc, here they make around $10/hr and pay taxes. If they are a waiter or busboy and get tips, they have to claim them as well. A busboy or dishwasher may make less, maybe 8 or 9 per hour.

Answer 8

It always depends on the type of work they are doing. Fruit pickers about three bucks an hour or less, because that's all they know how to do. Other jobs such as construction about $15 an hour, etc.

Answer 9

On the show 30 days, the lady was walking around picking up cans and selling them for a living.. I think she made like $15 for the day. That would suck. But yes, whatever the person hiring them will pay, looks like most aren't picky...

Answer 10

That varies of course. They make anything fromabout $4 an hour to $20 plus an hour
