I think most of the jobs filled by undocumented people are the types of jobs most USCs and LPRs wouldn't dream of wanting to do. 

But this was a self-fulfilling prophecy, wasn't it?

 

Create a cheap labour market with undocumented workers, and they will of course fill the least desirable jobs. Americans are priced out of this artificially lowered wage gap.

 

Remove the illegal workers, the market will once again dictate a fair price at which those jobs will be filled. Americans will fill those jobs, because they must be filled. This is the invisible hand of the market at work.

Absolutely since the employers looking/agreeing to hire the illegals are partly the cause of that cheap labour market.

I try to explain this to people here in NC because a lot of the farm and processing plant workers are illegal. The argument from some on the Left is that "they work jobs that Americans don't want to do". When in reality and I know from first hand experience that Americans will work those jobs if the pay is right.

 

Where I live at in NC tobacco is the primary crop that is farmed and my mother actually earned enough money from picking it to buy her first car years ago. So she decided one summer that us boys would learn how to pick it and earn some money as well. She called around to the different farmers and they all said "We will not pay your boys $6 an hour because we pay the Mexicans $2 an hour". So we had to work for $2 an hour in order to work that summer.

That's a common narrative but not really true. Here in the South they take a lot of low skill jobs that end up paying them less than they would a USC. For instance in my area there are alot of chicken processing plants that illegals have jobs in. They have had raids in the chicken plants and a local gun manufacturer here that scared that community for a long time. 

They were paying around $10 an hour for those jobs that a USC would make at least $15 an hour for. 

I don't understand why employers can get away with hiring like that. I was told bring all the right docs on the first day of work or we send you home.
