This is the key distinction. Everyone is so quick to blame the immigrant, not the employer who paying them and dodging taxes.

BTW, is it just about dodging taxes?

I could imagine that illegal immigrants are also a much easier workforce to manage. They won't be forming unions and going to strikes; if you want to terminate the employment, they won't go to a lawyer and sue you. They're humble, they're flexible.

(I don't know that job market so well and I don't even live in the US, but this is the perception I get from the system.)
