They don't because they don't want to. The dirty secret is that the cheap labor of undocumented workers alone offsets the added burden to the infrastructure. The cost of a lot of food you get from California (which is substantial for any American) is subsidized by the cheap cost of illegals. A good segment of the Los Angeles economy is driven by sales tax, goods, and services to undocumented aliens.
Everyone thinks this is a simple matter, but in fact remove the illegals and you'd immediately feel the effect in higher costs to business. This is why politicians don't really want to touch this problem. Do you really think these big food corporations want to see a clampdown on immigration?
