Especially when I was 16 and started working in construction, also under the table, since in California you cant work a job that is considered by OSHA to be "hazardous" until you are 18. But if you ask around enough, and work hard, people will help you out. Ive never once met an illegal who drew welfare or depended on the government to survive. ***** because they take American jobs, meh whatever, but type casting all illegals into blood sucking leaches is simply inaccurate.Ive also seen first hand how hard the seasonal farm workers who come on a seasonal visa to California actually live. They lived, sometimes 6 couples in the old Japanese camps that were built in WW2. Was a tough life for the 4 months some of the were here. But after talking to them, you find out that those conditions were better than where they came from. That being said, I do think the US has a problem with immigration and some serious reform is needed. But I have met few Americans who would work the way most of the immigrants I knew did. But being a work harder shouldnt mean you can skirt the law, Im only seeing I can see it from both sides.</blockquote>
