Exploiting Illegals

The NWA Times has made a really shocking discovery.
Some employers in Northwest Arkansas may be finding a competitive advantage by exploiting immigrants.

Aren't you just well and truly shock that businesses would do such a thing? Is the NWA Times just now waking up to the fact that thousands of illegal immigrants are being abused? The problem with being illegal is that people can take advantage of one's fear of getting caught.
Townsend said that while immigrants are often working for lower wages, they are in better situations than if they did not come to the U.S. For many the risks of being an illegal immigrant are much more favorable than those of staying in their native land.

I guess that the choice one makes when they decide to come to the U.S. illegally. You run the risk of being ripped off. You can complain all you want about the unethical businesses exploiting illegals, but the fact remains illegals made their choice when they crossed the border.
None of this is going to change until the President's administration get serious about upholding our immigration laws. The President wasted too much time trying to get all these illegals citizenship when he should have been up scaling our immigration departments so they could worked in the U.S. legally.
