One can debate this topic until the end of time, it makes no difference - as long as illegals benefit the elites / big business, the policy will continue as is. Simple as that.
Some may chime in about most companies don't use illegals - directly, that may true, and yet the mere presence of millions of able working illegals puts downward pressure on wages across the board.
And also affects shopping habits - illegals have very little money (especially after sending home much of their earnings) to spend and hence shop for the cheapest goods possible with little thought to quality / service; price is of paramount importance. That mentality rubs off onto much of the population; instead seeking out some semblance of quality and service, now it's only about price. Over time that mentality brings down the standard of living for much of the population.
Anyways, bottom line is that illegals will continue to be tolerated until such time that the elites / big business feel they're not welcomed and/or most of the jobs they seek dry up ...
Keep in mind that many of the illegals here have many, many children, who, despite their parent's status, are considered U.S. citizens ... so even if no more illegals came, the large population they've generated remains.
Automation combined with a lower standard of living is an unemployment train-wreck ... it's already happening, and is picking up speed ... I'll end this post on the following factoid...
There are approx 30 million more people in the U.S. than in 2000 and yet about the same number of jobs; many of which pay less than in 2000. And it's going to get worse, since even now, the U.S. population is still growing at around 3 million per year, but total number of jobs isn't ... *just to match* population growth (taking into account retirements / deaths) requires the addition of approx 100,000-150,000 new jobs each month! That's not happening.
