Interesting article here: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/20602 A key quote: quote: There are two basic strategies for limiting the number of illegal immigrants in the United States: policing the border and policing employers. Policing the border antagonizes people who have little political influence. Policing employers antagonizes people who have quite a lot of influence. We have illegal immigrants because corporations want them. End of story.

I have to admit that I've found it amusing watching working-class Republican voters waking up this year to the GOP's true constituency: corporate America. It's kind of shocking watching them just figure this out after decades, but I guess better late than never.

Why do corporations want them? Because we all want our food, clothes, electronics, cars, services, etc cheap. It's a two edged sword.
