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.

The only solution that will work to confront illegal immigrants is to confront their basic criminality and police against their simple presence. It doesn't make any sense to wait around for them to commit some additional crime, like looking for work, and throw them out then. Why should they respect the law when we don't?

We must hunt down and throw out anyone who is in this country who does not belong here. It must be an aggressive and proactive campaign. Until illegal immigrants taste real fear of law enforcement for the simple reason that they are on US soil without anyone's permission, we will have an illegal immigrant problem.

And it is not just illegal immigrants who need to learn to be afraid, it is also any non-citizen who is in the country legally or any naturalized citizen who associates with illegal immigrants. Anyone who is not born of two US citizens who aids or abets an illegal immigrant needs to be subject to being stripped of their citizenship and deported. This would most certainly and especially mean somebody who hires an illegal.

Many people who do not "belong" here can be allowed to be here. But we do need to be able to throw out, at a moment's notice, anyone who does not belong here. The only people who belong on US soil are US citizens, the rest are privileged guests with rights extended to them for the protection of citizens only.
