Correct.

There have been a number of different documentaries and interviews where corporations, like Nike, have said that U.S. citizens will not work in a shoe factory or will work some of these jobs (like farming, house cleaning, etc.) and that the only way to fill these jobs is with this labor force.

A few years back the DHS was flying around the country busting meat packing companies notorious for hiring illegals. Swift was a major one where they hit a bunch of their plants at the same time and arrested thousands. Well, after that raid the corporations paid off their congressmen and now DHS has to give a 3-7 day notice to the company before the raids. So when they get there, a plant where thousand work will have say 100 people working. All white and legal. Mysteriously they rarely find an illegal any more.

Those they do find are those who get turned in by the company for not keeping their mouth shut or being problematic. Essentially, they are to work under poor conditions for little pay. Or they get threatened to be turned in and deported.

It is a huge racket.
