It isn't just businesses that benefit, we all benefit. You benefit by paying less for your yard service- even if your yard service doesn't hire illegals, the prices are kept down because many do. Illegals help keep down the cost of construction, fruits and vegetables- which in turn keeps down the costs of processed foods. In this period of rising food inflation, I'm not sure we can afford to try to keep illegals out of the country. The impact on food prices alone would probably be pretty scary- and God alone knows what it would do to the hospitality industries.
