(And of course the complete ignorance of WeDaPeople in holding our elected officials accountable. - CL)
And if you are an owner or manager in any of these industries, what are you to do if the government quite clearly doesn’t mind hiring illegal aliens -- and paying them far less than their American counterparts -- as long as payroll taxes are paid?
Sooner or later, you end up going along with the charade, all thanks to government knowingly looking the other way. And over the decades this has been a bipartisan effort -- both Republicans and Democrats are to blame.
So, if you want anyone to blame for these things, blame government. By allowing the first unscrupulous players to take hold, market forces drive all the rest.
Want it to end? Only government can do this. Blaming employers is just a useful distraction for government and politicians alike. The government has the power to greatly reduce this but they simply don’t try. They like all those extra dollars flowing into their tax coffers -- regardless where it comes from or the damage it does to the very fabric of America.
Once government truly enforces sanctions against hiring illegal aliens, then you can go after the handful of bad actors who try to scam the system.
This is a relatively easy problem to solve. Why hasn’t it been? Because they don’t want to.
