Everybody knows what types of companies and people employ them. Everybody knows the maids and nannies employed by rich people are most likely illegal. Everybody knows the people roofing your house or repairing your fence are probably illegal. Everybody knows who's out there picking the strawberries. This would be an easy problem to fix if we wanted to. But businesses and rich people want them here, and businesses and rich people contribute to political campaigns.
