I'm going to say you would really be surprised. The jobs they work usually are 12-14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and are well above minimum wage. They are just the dirty/nasty jobs (roofing, chicken plucking and cleaning, farm labor, etc) that Americans aren't willing to do. I still remember talking with a large group of undocumented workers in Alabama in the late 90's. They worked in the chicken plants making $16-18 dollars an hour on 12 hour shifts. They would go pay cash for a new truck, drive it a couple of years, and then send it to Mexico for their families to sell at huge profits and buy a new one.
The fiction that these are lazy moochers living off the government is so far from the truth it is just blatantly racist.
