            Farmers. Farmers can make a lot of money, they hire “unskilled” immigrants to harvest crops and shit like that (often if not usually illegal immigrants) and “underpay” them. It’s a complicated situation that people usually look down on but everyone benefits in some way. Is it fair that a legal US citizen would be paid more for the same work? Not really because the same employee costs a lot more to employ, and some of that wage pays into the system whereas people paid under the table do not.
