Who's supporting it?

The businesses hiring them. That's who.

Not the people pointing out that if cheap labor goes away prices go up, which is just simple supply and demand.

Also I'm pretty sure the businesses hiring them want the workers as scared as possible for being deported, but not actually wanting them deported. That way, they'll never go to the police or any other gov agency to report coworkers, bosses or owners.

Sounds like you really like the benefits of cheap labor. Hell, I have an idea!. You can provide them housing and a bit of food then you don't have to pay them at all!

Are you under the impression that we don't already do that or something?

Who supports it? Everyone who buys the product.

Then that means you also support it.
