I assume your talking about the illegals that work for lower wages. Here is my read on them.
1)If you add in all the social services they use from the government they are not a cheap source of labor. All the ones around here send their kids to school here, use food stamps, and free medical cards.
2) I think the way to stop the illegal workers is to make it a serious crime to hire them. I don't care if it is just one day to tear your roof off or mow your yard. Then make it where the Chairman of the board of any corporation is the one liable if they are hired by anyone in that corporation.
How does this tie into contractors??? My Brother was/is a darn good finish carpenter. I do mean very skilled. He had his own business for years and did well. Then the fly by night guys figured out they could be the front man for the illegals and low bids jobs. The cost of jobs dropped in the whole area thanks to them. He fought it for a few years and them just quit. He switched to something the illegals can't do now.
So I would be darn careful who I hired to do ANY work for me.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
