I assume the parent was being hyperbolic. Illegal immigrants is the barrel scraping bottom of the work force.

Not really. For low skilled jobs that don't require much English, illegals are going to be as good as locals. Maybe even better because locals who are any good are mostly going to move on to better opportunities.

Yeah this. And warehouse work is all appified and can be configured in any language.

Any American working in an Amazon warehouse will be jumping at the chance to get out of there. So turnover would be really high. Same with delivery stuff, I don't think most Americans would enjoy a job where they don't even get a pee break.

As for legal stuff, I'm sure they'd use intermediaries to cover their ass.

I know this thread is dead, but I should have elaborated. The quality of the individual worker is as good or better with an illegal immigrant, but it's a legal nightmare. If you pay decent wages and have decent working conditions, you don't have to get into that shadiness. There's a reason awful jobs, e.g. roofing, are filled with hard working illegal immigrants and meth heads.
