It's "broken" in the sense that other parts of the society depend on non-enforcement. Start enforcing it more often and the house of cards starts crumbling.

Really? If we enforced immigration laws strictly then prices for food and household services would rise a little, but the whole economy wouldn't crumble.

Benefiting from exploitation =/= dependence, but I would imagine some businesses rely more heavily on this than others.
