It's not that illegals are more mobile but CHEAPER. Their employment is subsidized by taxpayers.

In addition currently the majority of illegals and legal immigrants come here because our big government gives out better bennies than theirs.

Illegals and legal immigrants cost US taxpayers NET hundreds of billions per year. IIRC various forms of welfare come to near 1 trillion per year and illegals and legal immigrants get a big chunk of that. That is without mentioning native born pushed into using the welfare net because of salary suppression and loss of job opportunity.

Meanwhile 200,000 and counting apply for amnesty and work permits under DHS's DACA program .
