But Americans are subject to labor laws and minimum wage and break times and so forth, so how is this a factor in whether or not they want to do the work? You'll get paid minimum wage and have breaks.

The implication is that undocumented laborers, or those who fear immigration enforcement, will not report illegal working conditions or wage theft. It is further implied that plenty of Americans would do the job with adequate pay and working conditions.
