I see. Rather than stay in business by going after available labor with offerings for higher wages, and making production cost savings in other areas to remain price competitive (capital investments), this "poor" man wants to cry on our shoulder because his illegal cheap labor pool is drying up. He should quit crying, invest in more machinery, more technology and more process refinements, offer living wages and improve his business model. He'd find that with the right business model the labor he needs will be there.
Cheap illegal labor is an addiction and creates lazy businesses.
