You guys are so afraid of the Boogeyman illegal immigrants that you're not seeing the automation and outsourcing of your current and future jobs by the controlling class.

Immigration has destroyed the bottom end of the entire construction industry in the same way automation did to manufacturing. When people distill the argument down to “Mexicans only clean houses and pick vegetables” you lose a lot of the nuance and therefore ignore the complains of the vast majority of people who’s lives are negatively affected by that.
Roofers, deck builders, landscapers and other semi-skilled but non red-seal trades commonly make $20/hour in countries that have tight controls on their immigration. That has a huge effect on the overall economy
