This is what’s happening in today’s illegal immigration con game. Difference is, most of these migrants are from Mexico and Central America and they arrived during the last 20 years, about a million a year. Note that this illegal immigration has been in addition to the more than 1 million a year admitted legally, by far the largest legal immigration program on earth.
Republican and Democrat administrations have done nothing serious to stem this tide. Why not? Because both national political parties are in thrall to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its offshoot, the Essential Worker Coalition — composed mainly of multi-national corporations in the agriculture, hospitality, food processing, construction and financial services industries.
These businesses love illegal immigration and the millions of poor workers arriving from the Third World. They get to pay bottom dollar, depressing the wages of average low-skilled workers, saving hundreds of millions of dollars over the cost of hiring Americans and legal immigrants. They pass the social costs on to the American taxpayer: healthcare, education, welfare, housing and crime.

That article is very hard for any pro-illegal sympathizer to debate... Period

From what I've heard, they can apply for U.S tax ID's in the U.S. What is not available, is the actual statistics of this.
