Then who is hiring all these illegals?

Mostly the wealthy Republicans and Democrats, and greedy business owners that sit in their back offices counting their profits on the backs of the tax payers while we watch our schools, jails, social services and hospitals become choked off, while those in power force us to pay for this epic disaster.

Dear Joe Hadenuf,

"Mostly the wealthy Republicans and Democrats,..."

I suspect that the truly wealthy go through the trouble of getting their help legal, at least when you're talking about household help.

When I've seen this sort of thing, it's been among the well-to-do, the folks with high, but not really high incomes, and not necessarily a lot of accumulated wealth.

My own friend who did this isn't really wealthy. Her and her husband do well, they have a low six-figure household income. They've been investing in real estate for some number of years, so they figure in about another 10 years, they'll have the new house totally paid off, and they'll have enough rental property that they can more or less retire and live well.

But we ain't talking Teresa Heinz-type of money.

Or do you remember Kimba Wood? The judge that Mr. Clinton wanted to appoint AG? As a judge, I guess she was making around $100K per year. I forgot what her husband did, but he was making some bucks, too. I think I remember they were making well over $200K per year. They were quite well-to-do.

But absent those six-figure salaries, they wouldn't have been able to pay the mortgage, and even with those six-figure salaries, it wasn't like they could have half a dozen pied de terres around the country.

No, I think the really rich can afford to hire the lawyers and accountants to take care of the paperwork.

All the while waxing indignant that American labor isn't willing to accept third world cesspool wages.

I live on Long Island where we are inundated with illegals and they are not being hired by large conglomerations. The middle class on up all use lawn companies who hire illegals. Practically no one does their own lawn anymore. Groups of illegals stand on main road street corners where they jump into the trucks of local contractors for local jobs in peoples homes. I see them pushing the carriages of babies in middle and upper middle class areas. It is not just a small elite who is at fault.
