Republicans like to blame bleeding heart liberals for illegal immigration. But the fact is, if people weren't hiring them, they'd go home. Who's hiring them? Small business owners? Aren't they typically Republicans?
Here are three great articles on the subject:

Since Illegal Aliens are a protected class that the left refuses to deport even when they commit serious crimes like DUI, why is is such an unpardonable sin to hire them, particularly if they have Fake ID and say they are citizens and they just "plum forgot"?
In actuality, to hire enough undercover ICE agents to hand out in all of our nation's Home Depot parking lots to nab citizens trying to hire illegals would be fantastically expensive as opposed to the wall
Listen up. That raid on that Mississippi food plant was great. Only problem is the government didn't punish the company. So do you think other companies doing it are going to stop? Not if the only people who get in trouble are the workers.
You guys are truly idiots.
Why in your mind do we have to go around to all the home depot's in the country to round up illegals? First of all, that doesn't happen in my neighborhood. Probably doesn't happen in most neighborhoods. So, if illegals mexicans are standing outside of your home depot, yes we should send ICE there to round them up. Then you as a shopper don't have to worry about the lure of their cheap labor.
And I love it how you say if we don't let you build a wall from coast to coast, then companies shouldn't have to stop hiring illegals.
I get it. You don't want companies to have to stop hiring illegals. In fact you would never fault an illegal employer for being unpatriotic. That's impossible because they are makers and I'm just a taker. You worship them so much you give them a pass on luring the illegal workers here.
So don't ever expect to solve this problem. Not with your partisan bullshit.
Just remember this dumb shit
"Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department. The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 in 1999 to four in 2003, and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics.
"In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three."
