There are more even more exploited ones who live-in. Then watch the gardeners and groundskeepers arrive. Most of the landscaping and maintenance companies use illegal day labor.

The trouble is that since the class of people who contribute to this problem are most likely to influence the politics involved, no one has been able to pass laws to impose hefty fines and maybe even jail time to the employers who are legal citizens using immigrant labor. Methinks, you guys have to clean your own house first before you blame the immigrant.

THERE WOULD BE NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IF THERE WERE NO ILLEGAL JOBS. Ending this cycle of exploitation would open up dialogue for guest worker programs and other kinds of legal and controlled immigration.
