"reasonable paying jobs. Full time is about 8 to 12 bucks an hour."
£4.85-7.27/hour?
That's roughly £10,000-15,000 per annum (that's with 40hr weeks and no days off).
Those are not reasonable wages... I don't know how anyone who could support a family on those wages.
"Are you from the UK?"
Yes. We have problems with illegal immigration here (although not as much as you do or the Tories would like us to believe).
"There are a whole lot of unemployed American's who would take a Construction job or warehouse job BEFORE taking a pathetic paying service job."
I'm not disputing that. What I'm saying is that there's incentives for employing illegal immigrants (no need to pay for healthcare, or ensure safe working practices etc.).
