For what it's worth, the going rate is probably closer to $25/day/person. (Los Angeles has designated spots downtown where day layborers are supposed to wait, and I used to live 2 blocks from one.) They got decent money, your yard work's done, and everyone's happy.

Absolutely serious. And sweatshops pay less. Life as an illegal immigrant isn't all that great.
edit - a "day" may not be 8 hours...it could be more like 4-6. But these people are not well-paid for doing work that's physically very demanding.
