There are thousands of 'illegals' working the farms here and they are payed a wage like around $8.00 per hour and the farmers around here are getting rich. They work for 'cash' so $8.00 cash comes out to be about $16.00 per hour for Americans because of our taxes being taken out and workmens comp, company insurance etc.

So I would say that I would need to make about $40.00 per hour to do that kind of work and make a good living.
And of course the farmers would have to get by with only scoring enough for them to live 'high on the hog' and not become multi millionares.
BTW: It would cost the people around here to pay $6.00 for a dozen ears of corn instead of the $5.50 per dozen we now pay for it. No biggie and doable.
