I work in the civil courts.
I had some illegal aliens come through our doors. They are trying to bring cases to get paid for work that they performed that went unpaid. Mostly construction work. In the majority of cases, they tell me that they were threatened with deportation by the people that owe them money when they asked for their money. Most of the times, it is immigrants who have green cards that abuse them- not Americans.
It's a disgusting cycle of abuse. These people are oppressed enough as it is. If laws like this pass, these people will be abused even harder.
