If undocumented Immigrants are freeloaders...
Why does ICE always raid workplaces???

There is no such thing as an undocumented immigrant. An immigrant is one who has pursued a legal avenue to permanently move into a country and adhere to the laws of immigration for that country. A migrant is someone who moves around to different places within the same country. How, then, can a legal immigrant to our country be undocumented?
What you are referring to is called "illegal aliens" who are trespassing and in some cases squatting on our land. They have no legal right to be here, and they have broken the law by sneaking here. I feel bad for those people who want to immigrate to America the legal way, learning the language, having physical and mental exams and taking an oath to abide by our Constitution.
I'm sick of those who want to re-name something because it suits their political agenda. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Period.

Why shouldn't they? It's where they all congregate. It's a good way to round them up and send them back.

A better question would be why aren't those workplaces severely punished for hiring wetbacks.

Your position seems to be they aren't freeloaders therefor they should be here illegally taking jobs Americans should be doing and driving
everyone's wages down.
Brilliant.

When I had my CPA firm, I had several clients that had high numbers of undocumented workers. They were both in highly regulated specialized construction fields. The work is very hard, labor intensive.
I asked both of them why they didn't hire legal workers. They told me, both, independently, that normal workers couldn't or wouldn't do the required work.
When they had certified payrolls, they were paying a minimum of $48 per hour, so these weren't cheap jobs. They could only get illegals to fill the jobs. They had a few legals, but not many.
I have heard that that is the same situation on many farm jobs in the midwest. There are a lot of industries, some seasonal, that are limited because they can only get illegals to do the work. When ICE makes their raids, it puts them out of business. Most of the illegals are hard workers because that don't have any other choices.
This is a more complex issue than some of you are making it out to be.

What stopped them from employing foreigners legally? With work visas?
