Allowing illegal immigrants to fill jobs that pay so little is really a safety valve for politicans. As long as businesses can find a way to remain in business without rebelling against the huge percentage of their profits taken by taxes from several levels of government and by the cost of complying with federal and state regulations, state and county/city licensing and dealing with inflated costs of materials and supplies which results from government pressure on suppliers, then businesses will bear the situation as long as it's bearable.

If illegals and their cheap labor are taken out of the equation, many, many businesses will begin to rebel in desperation merely to try to stay viable. The federal government eats a massive amount of our GNP. The other levels of governemnt, which are peopled by members of the same two parties who want to move up to the federal level, imitate the feds in writing worthless legislation and regulation and taxing everything imaginable.

That's why I think politicians are going to try to keep the flow of illegals going no matter what we say about it. They have also seen the side benefit of having a new constituency who won't talk back and who will vote for whoever offers the most cookies.

I think our politicians in both major parties have observed the great deal they believe politicians in Mexico get. Most Mexican politicians end up extremely wealthy from the bribe money and one party managed to stay in power over 70 years. Bringing these same voters over here makes sense if that's what you're after.
