legal immigration and semi-illegal (illegal only because of broke immigration process) is a completely different issue, not sure why you are mixing that issue up with true illegal immigration...
His Wall idea is dumb. He has to know that building a Hotel is a small part of the cost. the big part that never stops is the staff and maintenance. Assuming Mexico says no to paying for it, are you willing to pay more in taxes and prices in the shops. To build, staff and maintain the Wall?

So how does Rubio or Hillary feel about a typical illegal immigrant? that is, some Mexican guy hears that in CA you can earn $15/hr (many times more than you can in Mexico), figures "I'll try my luck in the US," gets here illegally, gets a job... sends most of his income back to his family in Mexico...

How does Rubio or Hillary feel about situation like that? do they agree it's a problem? what are they proposing to solve this issue?
Illigal migrant employers aren't bothered with minimum wage laws. They hire illegals to pay less than the minimum wage.

Agree about what are the others doing about it. What have the other politicians, all of them, done about it for the last 40 years and why?

If Trump wanted to come out with a sound policy, he would be looking to fine employers more. He ignored that idea.
