Who cleans the bathrooms
Mows the dishes
Works on the fields
ETC

Just my two cents
Exactly.
But the bigger lesson is that *because* illegal immigrants take these jobs the wages have been dropped so low that most others won't want them. If the wages rose to a decent level, there would be plenty of unemployed who would gladly take these jobs.
A chicken/egg thing.
