They never talk about the strange diseases (many formerly eradicated here once, horrible criminal acts (DUI deaths, rapes-many many, murder, etc.), public service costs, school costs, buses, public transportation, and all the FEDERAL benefits they can often get. I agree. Heavily punish the employers and make it stop. Prices will rise, but the other costs they force us to pay will end.
That's all true. Those who hire illegals and even legal immigrants for the lowest paying work are transferring a sizable amount of labor overhead costs and social costs to the taxpayers, present and future. That cheap labor is only cheap for the employers who utilize it and pay only a fraction of the real costs.
