An Illegal who was here to work, back in the early eighties told me he sent all his money to his home country and can live like a king in his homeland compared to here in the US. That is why they all cram into an apt. and spend very little.

I used to own a restaurant and had a bunch of illegals working for me. All were hard working, doing the kind of work Americans don't want to do. However, some steal, many drink alcohol and beer taken from the business, and ultimately when our legal system started supporting them, they sued me for higher wages, even though I paid minimum wage and they didn't pay taxes.
