    Well yeah. Turns out people who aren’t in fear of being deported won’t work for a fraction of minimum wage paid under the table.

      work for a fraction of minimum wage paid under the table.

      The real irony here is that a lot of immigrant workers were here on legitimate visas, in fact a huge portion of the “illegal” immigrants who the Trump administration has deported were here on legit visas that he wantonly revoked, and were therefore paying taxes on the shite wages they were being paid. Taxes that the U.S. is now no longer collecting. Anyone wanna take bets on the deficit increase under Trump?
