"Illegal immigration" has always been a part of this country (migrants coming up to work farms during growing season) except they used to go home during the off-season until border crossings became more strict and they had to stay for fear of not making it back in later. These people obviously serve a purpose here in the US or they wouldn't be coming but our laws just ignore reality in favor of unworkable solutions that leave these people vulnerable to being exploited.
