(11,619 posts)I would be pleased if Wallmart stores were confiscated because they hired undocumented workers at a fraction of what it would cost to pay regular workers. They were actually caught doing that.
Hotel chains contract business that utilize undocumented workers to keep labor costs low.
Construction companies use cheap labor so they can build houses and sell them cheaper.
Restaurants use cheap, undocumented workers to cut costs.
Farms use undocumented workers so they can keep prices down.
And some business, as that run by your friends, use cheap labor.
Would I want to see your friends in jail, no. But utilizing cheap labor to cut costs is the source of the problem with undocumented workers/illegal aliens. Until we deal with the employers, there is no interest in solving the problem.
