Of course not, because migrants have pushed down wages for these jobs. You are confusing cause and effect. At least I hope so, because the alternative is that you are seriously suggesting that America was incapable of growing food for the 200 years before we had illegal immigrants. Also, illegal immigrants paid under the table are cheaper than natives regardless without taxes and social security contributions and such.

We've had illegal immigrants for our entire history. Blaming them for economical problems is always the strawman argument. Look at how Asians, Irish, Jewish, Italians, were treated over the years just because they came here to work/live. Blaming Mexicans and Central/South Americans for taking some imaginary job is basically the modern version of saying the Irish are dumb/poor/dirty/will steal your jobs/eat your kids.
