Cutting back on illegal immigration

When I worked at a large company a few years ago, a janitor who has Latino, but spoke English, told me they had been called in to do more work on the weekend, but at the end, were not paid. I was going to get more info from her and find out where she could get help, but she was replaced by a janitor who did not speak English.

A key means of reducing illegal immigration is to fully enforce our labor laws. After all, the main reason American businesses hire undocumented workers is these workers don't complain about being paid less than the minimum wage, or not being paid at all, or subjected to unsafe and unsanitary working conditions, or treated brutally, or working more than 40 hours a week without getting overtime pay. If labor protections were strictly enforced and employers faced large penalties for violating them, as well as for hiring undocumented workers, the U.S. would cease to be a magnet for undocumented workers. But it's politically easier to focus on deporting undocumented workers than penalizing unscrupulous employers. You agree?
