It is a supply and demand thing. If the demand for labor remains constant but you increase the supply by adding lots of illegals then the price (wage) falls.

And that's the problem, you assume demand stays constant. More labor allows the economy to grow thus creating more demand for labor.

I don't assume it, I look at the facts and I know it. If I was wrong, wages would be rising rather than falling.
