No one who is legal would do most of that work, no matter the pay. I could offer $20 per hour for landscaping and I guarantee not one neighborhood teen would reply. Anyway, perhaps a subject for another thread. But illegals are a permanent underclass with little to no upward mobility or even desire to assimilate. Doesn't go so much for second generation, but definitely so for first generation. Since CA has the bulk of them and they tend to have a lot of kids, get used to it. It ain't gonna change with amnesty. It's a cultural thing.
