How is it not broadly held? What business is saying “we really wish we could spend more on labor, that would be great!” Politicians on the right have been playing lip service to “illegal immigration” for years. But they all knew just what would happen if they actually did it. Business interest and farmers would crucify them.

Even Trump supporting farmers were complaining about not being able to find anyone.

Just like they were all for the wall until the government started using eminent domain to take their land to build it.

It's the same thing with climate change on the left (Democrat politicians never manage to pass any kind of carbon pricing because they know they'd get crucified by business interests), but I wouldn't say that the left-wing broadly opposes carbon pricing.

The left wing does not, and much of it actively supports it.

The Democratic Party-in-government, dominated by its center-right faction, does oppose it, or at least does not actively support it.
