Exploited Laborers?

This term....exploited laborers....has been on my mind for a week now.

Basically....each time you work a migrant-illegal into the mix....you are exploiting someone.  When you stop at the transmission shop,  and some 'Jose' from Venezuela does a $1,200 job for the 'boss'....the state and social security are not getting their 'cut' of the job.

Same deal when you buy coffee and muffins from the illegal lady at the donut shop.

Is this 1850ish?  Well...yeah, it is some form of slave-labor  that we just overlook...mostly because we got used to it.

The Democratic Party now handcuffed?  Well....yeah, that's another angle to this whole story.

Greater LA surviving off half-a-million exploited labor folks?  Same story in Vegas?

How you explain this in financial numbers?  You can't, and it just begs more questions.
