They'd get at least minimum wage. Those that hire illegals need to be locked up. I sympathize more with illegals than those that hire them. You want to get started on social security running out? Illegal hiring plays a part in it.

Sadly, this is not true. Most documented foreign workers, by in-laws employ some, work under local labour laws. Most illegals get paid whatever their employers want and work ridiculous hour and are constantly under the threat of being turned in. Some are beaten and starved. In Canada recently a prominent construction contractor was arrested and several illegals from Hungary were liberated from slave like conditions. They were brought over several years ago, had their passports taken and, when not working, were locked in a basement. Construction trades, farms, and private households frequently abuse illegals, and do not meet labour laws.

I would be extremely surprised if Social Security, or any other government programs receive remuneration from such employers. I think if you were to advertise "Slaves wanted" outside of specialized adult listings, you wouldn't receive a lot of American applicants.
