Funny thing, I was just listening to Anthony Bourdain's new book and he was talking about how he's sitting at an Irish pub. The bartender's Irish, overstayed his student visa, and continually games the system. Knows who to talk to, how to duck out of the country and back in on a new work or student visa at any given point in time. There was also a Mexican kitchen guy, also illegal. He doesn't have any of the benefits that the Irish guy does. No one's going to write letters for him, and he never gets enough money to play the games that the Irish guy does. No one's looking for Irish guy, but the Mexican guy lives in fear and is a much greater target for crime and abuse.

Anecdotal, sure, but raised the point well at least.
