And how do we know Fox isn't correct? That never again will one see a black housekeeper, or if we ever might see a black man as a gardener? I'm not certain the same job would be done for the same wage as is paid to an illegal immigrant if we do see such.

I agree, however, that curbing illegal immigration will open the employment floodgates - but who's going to take the jobs at the job's current wages? Or will those who employ illegals be willing to pay an increase for their lawn to be cut or their kitchens mopped?

For what they are, I take Fox's words not as much racist as a socio-economic commentary. He realizes that with the illegal, low wages and humility go hand-in-hand, which at the same time is not the case for the average American.
