View submission: What are the reasons millions of undocumented immigrants were allowed in the US? I don't recall ever hearing the most obvious reasons by politicians.

"Millions " is a hyper inflated number. And many are here doing jobs that Americans refuse to do (you don't see many Americans picking fruit or doing hard labor). And it's not because the work is hard so much as the employers are not willing to pay the wage that most Americans want. If I can get a guy to dig a ditch at $10 an hour, why would I hire a guy at $20 an hour who is going to bitch the whole time.
