I fully support increased wages for menial jobs, as long as they're not going to illegals

So the illegal immigration issue is not important to you for its economics affects or changes to quality of life but just due to your fear of the other. Thank you for making your priorities more clear.

The premise of the comment that you are responding to is that because of supply and demand, and because these people are desperate, it reducing the wages for those jobs and makes those bad jobs worse.

Thats horrible and less people should be doing those bad jobs, and the wages should increase! Desperate immigrants doing those jobs is just people pushing off bad things to a vulnerable population, and the world would be better off if those jobs got automated away entirely.

What? My issue is that Americans are getting screwed over to help illegals. No more illegals = higher wages for Americans.
Can you show your math on this one? How much approximately are "Natives" losing out to "Illegals"?
