Some construction companies are now complaining about Trump's illegal immigration crackdown plans, saying it will ruin their ability to find workers. Despite laws against it, some companies hire illegal aliens and then mistreat them.

Breitbart's Bob Price told KTRH that there are many different ways these illegal workers are mistreated by the companies that illegally hire them. He said, "They don't provide workers' compensation for them. They'll work them 60 hours and only pay them for 40 hours, or work them below minimum wage. Things like that."

He pointed out that many of these immigrants don't have any choice but to work for these abusive companies due to their debts to the cartels that brought them into the United States. Price said, "These migrants come across the border; they still owe money to the cartels for their smuggling fee, and they're forced to work in indentured servitude, in construction or hospitality."

Price emphasized that situations like these are exactly why our immigration, as well as our labor laws, are so important. He stated, "Treat workers fairly, no matter where they're from, and pay them fairly. If you have legal workers working for you, they'll work for a fair wage."
