A lot of businesses in the USA rely on immigrants for labor, and a subset of those rely specifically on illegal immigrants that they can pay below minimum wage
Nobody without some serious mental disability or felony (prison work) is getting paid below minimum wage.

It's quite a hypocritical society when we make it very, very hard to immigrate legally
We've had more legal immigration than any other country in the world.
Define "very, very hard".

You think mexicans are the only people that can perform construction activities
Hispanics are literally at least 80%+ of the people doing construction in my part of the country.
DR Horton style track homes? Almost 100%.
Don’t know where you live, but it sounds much different than here.

Any building we build everyone has to be on the up and up to sniff the inside of the project... they are a lot spanish but all legit.
Residential, it's a 50/50 mix.

You might run into a bottleneck based on a country cap if you're trying to come in legally from the Phillipines, Mexico, China, etc. You have to pay hundreds for your visa and visa integrity fee. (Not a big cost to you and me, but it is to many people globally.) We now have restrictions on nationals from about forty different countries. You can be automatically denied based on a clerical error or missing one deadline. You might have to go through PERM for a year and a half before you can file for a green card.

How hard it is to immigrate mostly seems to depend on where you're from and how much money you already have.

All of that and we still legally immigrate more people than any other country.

China.
South Africa.
India.

Dude, you can’t have slaves and you can’t use those slaves to pump up your state’s number of reps

in louisiana, I think if you asked them what they wanted, most of them would say "a one way ticket for all of them right now", but it's just not possible, I guess

Yep, immigrating to Japan is even harder.
All of the following are true at the same time:
Many people legally immigrate to the USA every year.
It's a difficult, expensive, time-consuming process.
There are industries that, whether by choice or necessity, employ a lot of people who didn't or couldn't make it through that process.
Some places are even more difficult to immigrate to.
