I sat in on hearings and I listened to a witness testify that their agriculture processing operation was near the border and they had a weekly turnover of 9 percent of their employee workforce which was a substantial size workforce. So it was difficult to recruit new people because they had trouble coming across the border to go to work every day. sometimes for the week I imagine. And it was the fault of Uncle Sam because we have tightened up our border enforcement. which I am somewhat surprised to hear. I would submit the business plan was based on an illegal premise. the plan of setting up a business near the border so it would be easily accessible by illegal workers. to bring people in because they would work cheaper and you could send them back to their home country and not have to worry about. and I do not know in this particular case. but from a general perspective one could take this assumption. and not have to worry about health insurance. workers comp. litigation. retirement benefits. the kind of things that are the burdens attached to any employer here in the United States who hires legal people. There is a benefit to hiring illegals.
Identified stereotypes
Illegal workers are willing to work for less and without benefits.
