But, I read. I agree, years ago it was easy and "safe" to hire

Perhaps in your business, but in many sectors, construction for instance,
there is a large "underground" economy. Not only are illegals hired, but
many citizens are paid under the table. Estimates of illegal immigrants
are 10-15 million. They are coming here to make a living. Somebody is
hiring them.
