Null, you get what I mean. The typical dumbfuck who hops the border/abuses H1B visas isn't trying to go become a
miner up in hillbilly country, NC, USA. They want to go to some big city, get on welfare ASAP, and "work" at some menial job (possibly under the table) for wages a real American would find insulting, and pile up 20 people in a 3 bedroom apartment. Then they try and get into some college to bullshit their way through into a "prestigious" job like being a Doctor, so they can make a shit ton of money while being someplace cushy.
Being a
miner is the complete antithesis to the typical illegal playbook. You'd get some Mexicans that would be willing to do it, sure, but even then, why go be a miner when other places have a lot of construction work going on? Mining is not only hard work, it is
very dangerous work, and miners almost always have much shorter lifespans than most other people and a phone book of health issues.
On top of that, you'd be a foreigner, working a dirty, dangerous job for bullshit "pay", living in the middle of buttfuck nowhere with jack shit to do, and bipolar weather. You'll definitely find some schmucks willing to do it, but I don't see it being sustainable long term.
