When I lived in Northern VA, more than one house in our neighorhood was rented to illegals. The landlords probably got their rent, but with 3X the number of typical inhabitants, any profit made probably went to fixing the extra wear and tear.
There is no “fixing” when your tenants are illegals; they have no recourse. Here in northern NJ a few years ago, they had a basement fire in a normal house in a wealthy area that killed illegals from a few different countries because it had been made into “rooms for rent” (not even apartments); the fire was by the one entrance (completely violating fire code) so nobody could get out.
When I was discussing this with an unemployed friend of mine, he said (without batting an eyelid), “that’s more American jobs saved”. As much as that horrified me, he was absolutely right; these people paid no income tax, no property tax, no social security tax...but they were still people. That is why people rise up and execute their (fill in the name: King, Tsar, whatever)...
