And that's the vicious cycle that these businesses have started and are now invested in. Many of these jobs paid decent wages and there was no issue. Then, as businesses started to cut corners and hire illegals, the cost of labor dropped precipitously. While this discouraged native job seekers from seeking local employment, these businesses nonetheless increased profits significantly.
Now, however, these guys are being called on the carpet for their illegal hirings and are using the excuse that no one wants these jobs the jobs they themselves devalued!
There is no such thing as a free lunch. These businesses want sky-high profits through employing dirt-cheap labor. By destroying the labor market for their activity, they now lament the fact that they are forced to clean up the economic mess they made!

These businesses want sky-high profits through employing dirt-cheap labor.These two have the entitlement mentality that far exceeds those of a welfare queen.
Hajek and Goehring tell me they want to follow the law, but they also need laws that ensure them access to cheap immigrant labor.
It sounds like they want legal permission to exploit "immigrants."
