" Illegals don’t come to the US to avoid taxes. They come to get jobs here because there are none at home in Mexico."
True, but most of the illegals hired as day workers are hired off the books. Go to any building site in my state and 75% of the labor are illegals off the books.
There are still a few legit bueinesss owners out there but they're slowly being forced to hire illegals to "remain competitive" (stay in busines).

And now illegals can sue for worker's compensation. Another discouragement to employers NOT to hire illegals. Perhaps part of the problem is fixing itself.
