I live in Apple country and these guys and gals that pick the fruit get paid by the bushell and make a average of $28. a hour. I see lots of iner city minorities here during season and they work half as hard as the Mexicans and still make about $12-$15. a hour.
Again, get rid of ilegals and replace them with dead beat dads and healthy welfare recipiants.

That's the problem, dead beats won't work, no matter who's dad they are and the welfarians are lumped in with the dead beats.

I work with Mexicans, and they make OK money, but they work alot of hours for it, so it doesn't even out. They work 71 hours a week, and get between 400-450 dollars a week. We have tried hiring "dead beat dads", and "healthy welfare recipients". None of them will work the same amount of hours for the same money. There's a reason they are dead beats. They don't want to work.

Because they do. Yes there may be some exceptions. Many people who are healthy are collecting welfare checks because they cant find jobs do to illegals taking them. i do agree with you that there are many "dead beat" dads but working illegaly without giving to taxes and the economy is no help.

that is only one industry look at the trucking industry and you will see a huge differance. Illegals working for less than half that of a legal driver.

They don't make 28/Hr. Maybe 9-12/hr. And they don't get overtime pay (and I'm talking about illegals).
