I don't think it's the big businesses taking advantage of the illegal immigrants. Businesses (mostly the bigger corporations) have to go through paper work to verify the legal status of everyone they hire. Smaller businesses, contractors, folks who hire 1099 type employees and folks who hire day laborers and "under the table" employees, tend to be small businesses.
Also, there is a big market for fake papers and stolen social security numbers to make people appear to be legal. If we are waiting on the private sector and businesses to enforce immigration law, we'll NEVER get any where.
We need to enforce immigration laws at the point of entry...the border. This is a Federal gov't issue. When we find undocumented/illegal immigrants living here, be they the adult offenders or their family, we need to follow the law and deport them.
Whether or not the children of illegal immigrants think they are Americans or not, or whether they've "earned" the grades to go to college here or not is irrelevant. Illegal immigrants and their families are NOT legally entitled to the same things as LEGAL citizens or LEGAL immigrants.
It's not fair to American citizens to force them to pay for benefits to non-citizens. California voters passed PROP 182 several years ago, by a wide margin. The California Supreme court overruled the vote of the people and illegal immigration continues...in spite of the employment verification laws passed since then.
Stop the madness. Secure the border. Stop rewarding law breakers.
