Yes, the laws shouled be enforced. But that means physically closing the border and patrolling it aggressively, which costs money. Registering and tracking immigrants will also greatly expand government bureaucracy and cost money.

There are a lot of folks who are opposed to more government on principle. And a lot of cynical bastards who have a lot of interest in maintaining the status quo who are happy to exploit their principles.

Or you can simply go after the businesses that employ these laborers and dry up the money at the source.
