Well he followed the greater law to provide for the needs of his family, and some sleazy employer offered him more than was being offered at the place where he was working legally. Obviously this market demands his labor - unless there are people willing to do the job.
Either way - if there is a demand for that job, the employer needs to do things legally and pay just wages.
Put your blame in the right place. If Jose was instead Jozef from Poland - you would conveniently say you feel the same way.
But I think I know why we're talking about Jose.
The people that feed your positions are people who want you to support a Corporatist mindset. It's the same people who think it's reasonable to put someone away for 30 years for wielding a gun, while letting someone walk free with a bracelet for stealing millions.
This problem would solve itself, if greedy employers weren't cheating the system.
So blame Joe the owner. Jose just wants to make a damn dime - since the Peso - which is incidentally worth a little less than a dime - isn't putting the masa on the table.
