“The only reasons we tolerate them is 1) supposed cheap labor which, of course, is really paid for by the tax payers through welfare (suck it corporations and if we need cheap illegal labor then why does the gov’t keep raising the minimum wage?)” It’s never mentioned but I’ve been told by Contractor friends that it ties into union labors wages.
That is true. Makes it even more of a scam. Min wage is used as a base.
