>> There is a large segment of this society that just don't want to physically work. <<
That doesn't want to work for minimum wage. Let's see you try to raise a family on $5.15 in New York.
"Corporations don't import illegals."
You are sadly mistaken. Agri-businesses have been importing workers for yrs....legally. Which is fine because it was done within the law. Illegals don't just walk across the border and hoping they'll find work. There are representatives from these companies who are actively searching for workers with certain job skills to work in the US. There was a large Chinese laundry business in Chicago who were sending vans down to the border to pick these workers up and bring them back.
