Lots of small businesses are owned by illegals. Suspect they will have some support from citizens currently receiving government checks. If all illegals were gone they might be forced to work instead of drawing taxpayer freebies.
On Staten Island, very few.
The vast majority still work for others. And those owners who hire them should be put in prison.
But that would be half the store and business owners on staten island.
Quite a few of them actually. I know in construction many illegals employ and exploit other illegals. Over the last decade or two I have watched one legit business after another close their doors because they couldn’t compete with someone who paid their people under the table, or paid less than minimum wage. Some of those companies were several generations old, but they just couldn’t fight it any more.
