    We need illegal immigrants to mow our lawns

    -Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., defended the presence of both legal and illegal immigrants on Tuesday, asking his constituents: "Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns?"

    "There are a lot of jobs in our community, that like it or not, for better or for worse, Americans are not willing to take," Malinowski said in a video obtained by the Washington Examiner.

    Malinowski, the freshman Democrat who is now running for reelection in New Jersey's seventh district, began citing statics showing the major role migrants play in the workforce.

    "Who do you think is taking care of our seniors? Fifty percent of the elderly care workers in the state of New Jersey are immigrants, most of them legal, most of them documented.

    I had a landscape maintenance company back in the 80's, ran it for seven years. I hired only Americans, they showed up, they worked, all was good. I saw a crew out yesterday in my area and it was all American. You get what you pay for and from a business stand point there is no such thing as "cheap labor". You end up paying more when you under pay because employees will always raise their wage to "livable" via theft, milking the clock, etc so it's not a good practice.
