We all know illegals work cheaper. That in turn drives down median wages across the board. This cost saves line is BS too. If you correctly bid a job you will make the same profit no matter who you hire. I know of at least 2 companies that have framers working for less than minimum wage and working under the table. If you try to turn them in, you are asked for proof before anyone will investigate. Our laws on illegals are FAR too lax and it will only hurt us in the long run. The only people it doesnt hurt are the people like Big Baller, who can charge the same and pay less than companies that are using Americans.
