Are these illegal immigrants good/hard workers with low pay because they are inherently hard working people or are they just the product of a country which has next to nothing to offer it's workers. Americans don't want these jobs because they are lazy, proud, and greedy, this is true, but also because the bar has been lowered due to the influx of immigrant workers. What happens when you remove all the immigrants and are left with just American workers who are unwilling to work for the same low wages? The wages go up. Regardless, should we see another depression in this country, or if the unemployment rate continues to rise, then you will see Americans lining up to work in the fields. What I'm saying is, these "illegal" workers are not necessarily more humble about what they're doing, but perhaps more desperate.
