You run a business, eRay.
If you can hire someone who is willing to work for a lower wage, shows up on time, never calls in sick, won't claim unemployment on you if laid off, has the skills needed, and asks no questions about your business, who are you gonna hire?

Have you ever spent a summer packing irrigation pipe? When I was a kid, that was a summer job for white teenagers, and I did it for a month before I quit. It's hard, mind-numbing, hot, thirsty work that pays doodley-squat. After only a month, I hated it so much that it gave the the ambition to go find some skills at age 16.
I wasn't alone. Half of the boys in my class did exactly the same thing. The farms are still there, and the irrigation pipe is still there, but you won't see kids with white faces packing the pipe if you take a drive out to the country. Only kids with brown faces are willing to take that kind of work, and it's been like this for 40 years in my area.
