Though you sort of summerized it with what you said, midwest region.

Well my point was that I'm speaking of what's going on in the midwest region regarding these jobs and the available labor pool. There aren't many illegal aliens in this area.
Now imagine if the illegals were no longer a factor in your area. Do you think your fiance would still have a hard time finding employees? The wages would probably rise and the jobs would appear to be more attractive to people who wouldn't consider doing it atm for the current pay rates. Since the labor cost would likely rise for all the competition as well it's really not much of a factor as the cost would be passed on to the consumers.
