For very low wages, and no insurance, sick leave, vacation. Our economy mostly runs on hard-working migrants. Apparently, trumpsters just can't get that through their thick skulls.

I'm sure the contractor I used for years on my little mountain farm in Calif employed undocumented men. They put up fencing, did remodeling, painted my house, all kinds of jobs. They worked their asses off, and they were unfailingly polite. I was always alone there during the day while they were there, and I never once felt threatened.
