I don't know what everybody here is complaining about. Our lettuce is $.05 a head cheaper and we get cheap poolboys (OK, so I don't own a pool) and inexpensive nannies (OK, so my kids are grown).

But, what's there not to like about this sweet deal with cheap labor and willing hands? Everybody wins!

Not everyone wins...

My Mom's neighbor gets cheap labor with no Workmans' Comp policies or taxes taken out in order to get cheap value added to his properties. Then he has money left over or increased equity with which to levy nuisance lawsuits in order to try to force an old lady to sell cheaply.

That doesn't cover the cost of death people from car accidents described in this above article, or the increased cost of increased insurance premiums caused by all the illegal unlicensed drivers.

LOL! I like the sarcasm.

But, I am having lots of trouble finding a legal gardener here. I need one that is a legal citizen and not because their parents sneaked over here! I thought about putting an ad in the paper - but I bet I'll be harassed and maybe even sued for 'discrimination'. We've fallen a long way...
