No, I wouldn't, especially having to work long hours under the California sun. And most Americans won't either. Which is exactly why Mexicans are willing to take those jobs. Even at $5/hr, they earn as much as an hour as they otherwise would in a day.
So, if you wouldn't be willing to remain in your current job for $5 an hour, and your boss found an illegal immigrant that would, your job could then be characterized as one that an American wouldn't do. Would it fair be for you to have to compete economically with someone that was here illegally and willing to work for such a wage?
