    Your typical undocumented immigrant is unable to recieve any governmental medical benefits. If they applied, they’d have to compromise their undocumented status, and most are too fearful to do so. They cannot apply for welfare or apply for HUD, either. They would risk exposing themselves. Typically, undocumented workers will band together and share rent for an apartment (it is not uncommon to see 4 or 5 families sharing an apartment in the low-rent part of town) as soon as they have income. Some of them work 90 to 100 hours a week on up just to keep themselves afloat, and they mostly work at the bottom-of-the-barrel jobs that your average blue-collar American wouldn’t touch. It is also common for them to draw a 9 on their paychecks so they won’t have to do any reporting to the IRS. As for medical, they would pretty much have to go to the County ER just to get flu medication. As a result, they generally have to rely on mom to heal the sick. Essentially, U.S. society derives an enormous amount of cheap labor from them, they consume products just like any lower-income Americans and, with the exception of those paid under the table, they contribute their fair share of taxes, and they are mostly decent people who came here out of desperation and the desire for work. Their work ethic puts that of the average American’s to shame.
