all of those companies already have a pretty unlimited supply of semi-desperate proles in the US; they don't have to exploit illegals

Number one, it's great to hear your ignorant theories. Number two, even the companies getting paid to do border security contracts like Lockheed Martin still lobby for open borders.

the major sector that profits from undocumented labor in the US is agriculture construction

Business lobbyists are cheering on immigration negotiators in the House and expect they will make changes to the low-skilled worker visa program designed by the Senate’s “Gang of Eight.”

The new temporary worker visa program, which was worked out between the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO, has come under criticism from some quarters for not providing enough visas and for giving special treatment to the construction industry.


Construction industry representatives have been lobbying the House to change the new visa program proposed by the Senate, which caps visas for workers in the industry at 15,000 per year. Some anticipate that cap won’t make it into the House Republicans' temporary worker plan.

“We are encouraged that the four Republicans in the House gang have expressed their intention is not to single out the construction industry. We think that will lead to an improved final product coming out of the immigration reform debate,” Burr said.
