AMERICA: No Legal Need Apply!

If the Democrats Were Really Committed to Workers, They’d Support the Wall

The effect illegal immigration has on the U.S. labor market is not a closely guarded secret — numerous economic studies confirm that illegal aliens have an overwhelmingly negative effect on both the employment prospects and the wages of low-skilled American workers. 
. . . 
“Illegal aliens come to the United States to take jobs that offer them greater opportunity, and they are often welcomed by U.S. employers who are able to hire them for wages lower than they would have to pay to hire U.S. workers,” the report explains. 

In response to this criticism, liberals frequently argue that illegal immigrants do the jobs that “Americans won’t do” — but this evasive rebuttal has no basis in fact. 

What are these illusive jobs that Americans supposedly refuse to do? Are there no American workers in construction and manufacturing? Are there no American workers in agriculture and landscaping? Are there no American custodians, cleaners and chefs?
