On what are you basing your belief that it's just confined to one industry, and that most would not hire illegal workers?

>But it's a 'dirty little secret' because everyone was PRETENDING that it didn't exist or that such folk did only menial jobs not 'worthy' of red-blooded Americans.

Who was pretending it didn't exist? The problem has been going on for a long, long time.
