While I agree that is the case with some, I'd add that there are businesses that want the benefit without paying the price - and the illegals are their fodder.

1) What exactly are these "big" businesses? Walmart? GM? or is it strictly agricultural businesses? If it is, what "big" ag corps are hiring all these illegals?? I ask this seriously, because I've worked with many big bizs over my career, in all sorts of areas, and I've never known of a single one that would knowingly hire an illegal. How can any big (or publicly traded) corporation ever get away with it? There's some investigative reporters asleep at the switch if big companies are routinely knowingly hiring thousands of illegals. Do so is a major violation of law.
2) In any event, we should strictly enforce our borders and promptly send back all illegals, to protect them from being used as fodder by these corporations.
