If they were actually a positive contribution to the country one would think that they'd have been able to immigrate legally.
Even if they are a positive contribution, that just means we should have a good look at immigration procedures, not that we should use misleading euphemisms for lawbreakers.

Cheaper then it should be if these employers were forced to pay minimum wage, follow labor laws and couldn't threaten their workers with taxpayer-funded deportation if they got out of line. You're targeting the wrong end of the equation.
