| The Mexican workers are coming here because they can find good paying work. These men and women often work HARD for very reasonble wages. The migra don't seem to be taking much action, so employers take advantage of a market in cheap labor. It is a policy of the Feds to do only so much to restrict illegal immigration.
As a construction employer who is conversant in Spanish, why should I not maximize my profit by hiring undocumented workers from the local street corner? The men give it their best and don't lip off or loaf when the boss turns his back. And if they do, I can fire them without consequence. Fed policy and my own self-interest FORCES me to hire these workers. Change the policy, enforce the law and the problem dries up....
