It's not the job of business people to enforce immigration laws.
Well, it is illegal to hire and pay tourist.
If they the business owners don't want to enforce the law, by doing their due diligence to make sure they themselves are not breaking the law, then they have no objections to seizure of all business and personal assets acquired illegally.
They must file the paper work for every paycheck, that FICA is withheld. Red Flags would wave and federal agents show up and talk to the employee and the employer and get it straightened out. A typo or someone is going to jail and ultimately deported to Mexico City. Not just dropped across the border, to return tomorrow.
How are illegals doing roofing for minimum wage (or less) when an American would be paid $18.00 an hour (or more) "part of the solution" ?
Anecdote:
A friend who had a roofing business, hired illegals at $12/hr. He said that he got more work out of them, than American labor. For example, lunch - the locals took off and often came back a wee bit late - whereas the illegals ate their lunches on site and were back to work, on the dot.
It is stipulated that legal laborers' wages were diminished by taxes, etc, so the illegals' under-the-table wages were higher. But the work ethic has certainly been warped by generations of socialism and entitlement.
Mexicans are very hard working people. I know there are drug dealers and criminals among them but the ones that work work hard. They not only do work you can't get Americans to do. They do traditional American jobs and do them well.
I'm not sure if they're here legal or illegal but the ones that are working part of the solution, not the problem. The criminal element is the problem.
If they are that hard working, why isn't Mexico a more powerful and prosperous nation?
You cannot get Americans to do certain things, because the going rates have been suppressed and even lowered to 1980's going rates. I started construction in the 70's, by 96 I was out of a job, or live in poverty.
Yes, of course. Please continue to root for baseball teams.
Citizenship is one of just a few jobs government is actually authorized to determine.
When government fails to hear the people, we get people like Donald Trump, saying things more than 2/3 are saying that government has failed to hear, for the best interest of their bank accounts.
Government failing to listen to the people, got us Donald Trump in the position he is in today.

There is no work that Americans will not do. That's a myth.
