Most of the 1% are Republican supporters. Walmart, Home Deport and construction companies like fat boy Stone's benefit from "cheap labor". What's cheaper than charging for full price workers then giving illegals half to a third and pocketing the rest? Works even better if half the workforce are illegals being paid under the table.
Of course, like with Stone, if the IRS takes a hard enough look, he'll go down for millions of dollars worth of tax evasion charges. It'll collapse the company and see him become someone's bitch buddy for a few years.
People who engage in risky behavior, and succeed, often put themselves into a situation where they do not. It's akin to the Peter Principle except with more life altering consequences.

theorists have argued that the particular combination of contextual factors, accessibility to content of decision-making utility, task type and demands, and computational skills trigger a particular type of behavioral response – normatively rational or irrational risky behavior...
...Summary
According to normative theory, any information that is not directly used to calculate the expected values of the decision options should not influence the choices. However, variables such as differences in contextual descriptions of risk, monetary amounts, and – importantly, as we have shown – accessibility to decision-making content (e.g., activated emotions) change risk preferences and choices (e.g., Kusev et al., 2009). There is strong empirical support for the effects of emotions on risky behavior (e.g., Guven, 2012). People are not slaves to their emotions, however, with emotional regulation strategies associated having effects on affective, social and cognitive functioning, and psychological well-being (John and Gross, 2004). There are several key hormonal correlates and determinants of risk. Cortisol, testosterone, and oxytocin have been demonstrated to be causally involved in modulating risky behavior. Chronic sustained elevation of cortisol serves to make people more risk averse, whereas both administered and naturally high testosterone increases risky behavior. Oxytocin appears to increase generosity in a manner resembling risk-aversion, but more study is needed to add confidence to this interpretation. The influence of cognitive, emotional, and hormonal factors and their interaction on decision-making have implications for regulation to improve people’s decision-making.
