There are far too many illegal immigrants to jail them all and actually turn them into forced labor. The goal is to put enough fear into them that they accept slave conditions without having an actual overseer. The fear also spreads to legal but at-risk immigrants like H1-Bs who see the strictness of the immigration system and learn not to test it by fighting their corporations.
