Is there anyone who can honestly say they have not received some economic benefit from illegal labor?

You are right in that we have let this situation get out of hand but I am not so sure that everyone benefits from illegal (less expensive) labor. Where I live most of the illegals work in the construction, manufacturing and restaurant industry. The business owners and customers benefit from lower labor costs but not so much the legal workers who also work at those jobs.
I bet if the managers in those businesses were being replaced by illegals they wouldn't be touting the advantages of the lower wages so much.
