you do realize the "cheap labor" costs the tax payers billions each year? dont you think someone making $40/day which gives them access to housing subsidies, foodstamps, and welfare fairs better than someone making $150/day but gets healthcare taken out of their check and has to pay for food and housing completely. when you also consider that MOST are paid under the table and avoid paying taxes on their earnings, you'll see that people making $20/hour are the real cheap labor.
