It's a recognized fact that most Americans won't bother to apply for a minimum wage job and won't work at one. So the companies hire the illegals and exploit them.
That statement shows that Americans don't want to be "exploited" at them minimum wage jobs. Is it really your business where, why, how the "illegals" are working? Those "illegals" if they think they are getting exploited can always quit those jobs that are exploiting them. There are plenty of minimum wage jobs out there that most Americans won't do. IMO, if they really were getting exploited they would be jumping ship.
Just because YOU think they are being exploited doesn't mean THEY think they are being exploited.
The truth is in many areas of our country these "ilegals" are being exploited by our standards.
But you are correct, by the working standards of the country they came from, they are not. But when an employee of a company is made to work 14-16 hours a day for substandard wages and no benefits as some are, that is exploitation in my book.
Granted, they (employees) do it of their own free will because however bad their job is, it is better than what they had in their country. But it is still exploitation.
