In many cases the use of illegal/undocumented persons is exploitation. No overtime needs to be paid to the individual, no payroll/SS tax need be withheld or reported,
no medical benifits need be given even if 50+ people are employed because there is no need to pay for unreported employees.
I also reject the argument that no indigenous employees will do the job. If an employer cannot hire unreportable people then they must pay a living wage/benifits if they want to stay in business.
If the incentive for illegal/undocumented persons is removed the flood will end and all employers will be working on the same playing field, and market forces can work.
In my mind its a win win scenerio.
