Why confuse the issues of regulations with illegal labor? What is the point except to muddy the waters?
A while back I read some commentary from someone who pointed out that one of the major reasons for the riots in New York in 1863 were the fear that newly freed slaves would depress wages. It is a perspective I had never previously considered, and it makes me notice which groups of people are pushing for illegal immigration, and which groups are opposed to it.
Apparently the power brokers like wages to be as low as possible, but it is not good for the middle class.

Confuse? They BOTH stem from the same root cause: GOVT
Regulations - the explosive grown of ILLEGAL govt = ever increasing cost to the taxpayer\Citizen.
Illegal labor - govt, tasked w/ defending/protecting our borders, as well as enforcing immigration, *NOT* doing once of its few/lawful duties\responsibilities.
If govt were its rightful size/scope BOTH would be far less of an issue than We have allowed today. IMO, the latter cannot exist w/o the former.
