they pay their American counterparts. They're just supplying a labor glut, which changes the supply/demand aspect of prevailing wages in a given industry, driving the wages down for EVERYONE. I think you missed my point entirely.

Also, if you are referring to undocumented workers from Mexico and Central America (those are the only ones they could get away with paying less than they pay the Americans that do the same job), they obviously can't do that, because they are tightly regulated by the federal government. Park Service is there every single day.

And, considering Americans' unfortunate prejudices, hiring Latinos would cause an outcry that hiring eastern Europeans and Asians does not.
