Well.....being a daily witness to low-cost labor - and it's addictive qualities...
If one business hires cheap labor, they will be able to underbid their competitors.
So in order to stay alive as a business, all similar businesses hire this newly available cheap labor...and a price standard is set, based on cheap labor. It is like they are "addicted" to cheap labor, and there is no going back.

Now, the next step beyond that....for even cheaper labor, is to hire those without proper documentation. Those workers are so glad to be hired at all, they seem to work the hardest....they have found an employer that "works with their situation".
But now, their competitors need to find similar illegal work-arounds.....to stay competitive.
And it all becomes an addictive standard hiring practice.

There ARE several ways to get around hiring illegal aliens, legally....because nobody (govt.) really checks the records/documentation deeply enough.

We need more enforcement, in the hiring process.
