Pouco natural
@fluffyhusky i think in this context its a little too much because the threat of deportation is real and rational.
dread deals more of illogical and irrational threat.

you can say = some factory owners deprive their workers of their wages. But the workers can hardly say anything because many of them are illegal migrants. And being deported is one of their biggest fears.

@fluffyhusky i made word suggestions based on the flow of the statement.
The words I replaced are good as they are but only if you will just have them in a single sentence.
The word illegal just needed to be explained more.

@fluffyhusky i chose fear over dread because..the word dread has a very strong negative feeling on it to the point of being unreasonable or uncontrollable..its more associated with the word phobia.
Whereas fear is a negative feeling towards an actual threat..a more realistic one.
hope that helps..
