We also have over 12 million illegal aliens from mexico in the US being employed by american companies to drive down wages for american workers. This also forces the american people work as slaves to business. We should be going after and closing those businesses that employ the illegal aliens and it will stop the illegal human trafficking. We can only blame our governments inaction that are allowing this to happen. Also make the companies who employ illegal and undocumented aliens to pay to export the illegals. These costs should not be put on the american people paying taxes to enforce the laws. Being business friendly is one thing but letting business flaunt our laws and perform criminal acts is not something to tolerate. For every illegal being employed america loses and we are tired of being the underdogs to the criminal acts of business.

The whole illegal immigration thing is about cheap labor, and this is just an extreme example. Employers hire illegal aliens in order to continue to depress wages, especially for the working poor. Illegal immigration has become the next best thing to indentured servitude, since that was outlawed by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
