but in Boston one needs to make at least $22.50 an hour to cover the cost of living in or around the city. Yet my aunt in upstate NY rents out an entire house for $500 a month, heat included. Just think, you could move into your aunts house and work for minimum wage.. In the wild-wild west, Housing varies greatly, from 200.00 a mo. shitholes to 5,000.00+ a mo. mansions. Also the wages vary from 5.50 an hr.to-infinity for CEOs, so there's a wide variety of housing and jobs. I never worked for minimum wage as I was a citizen and had skills. The question is not the union issue per-se, but the fact they are Illegal, you know, breaking the law by even being here, and then they want to bitch and demand citizenship. Bullshit! Go back to where you came from and fix your broken country. We had to fix ours and since it's broken again I believe we Must fix it once more, and a large part of the fix is removing Illegals!
