Immigration increased, if it did, because there are jobs here. The economy is growing and there is work to be done.
It has nothing to do with anecdotal trash thrown at the President for talking about guest workers.
If there were no jobs there would be no illegals.

If there was no illegal labor force to draw upon, the free market would see wages for jobs increase because as you said work does need to be done.
I resist the idea it is the jobs that americans refuse but rather it is the wages offered for those jobs. Change the wages thru free market scales that are balanced on both sides ( employeee versus employer) and I offer that americans would indeed take those jobs.
At that point, if those jobs are not filled then by all means increase Legal immigration for that economic support.
