You won't pay 14.00/hour to do that job or 400.00/night for a room. I can
find nice hotels for 75.00/night. Anyway, the laws of supply and demand
won't allow it. You guys remember Economics 101, the laws about supply
demand. If  a normal room was 400.00/night the demand would go down, forcing
the price down. The public would find some other housing less than that
400/night. I bet bed and breakfast owners would do a landslide business.
Hell, homeowners would be renting out the guest room for 100/night.

You might pay 10.00/hour, but that won't drive the cost of a room to 400.
You will hire high school and college kids and the less than college
educated people to do the work. People in their 20's who aren't lucky enough
to go to college will jump all over those kinds of jobs. 10 x 2080 = 20,800
x 2 = 41,600/year. That's not bad wages for a couple in their early 20's
without any college. Sure as hell beats 316/wk for 6 months then nothing.

But both sides are arguing the wrong point. It is ILLEGAL to enter this
country by swimming in. The key word is 'illegal' here. Forget the racist
crap, fact is we can't take care of the 'legals' properly (entry level jobs,
medical, housing) because of the billions we spend on the 'illegals'. Look
at this from the most basic level, would you help your neighbor clean up his
weed infested backyard BEFORE you clean up your own backyard. This argument
isn't about race, it's about economics, and our leaders believe it is
economical to let em swim in, regardless of how illegal it is.

Yes, there are jobs only the illegals will do because they will shovel shit
for 5.00/hour and we won't. I don't have the answer, but letting 'ILLEGALS'
run amuck in the USA is not the way.
