If he hadn't come here illegally, he wouldn't be in this position.

Don't forget the fact that it is (certain) Americans who keep hiring them because they are cheap labor.

If greedy businesses would pay a decent living wage ($12+ an hour), instead of lowballing all the time, they would have all the legal employees they want. But they are always trying to cut corners to squeeze out a few extra pennies of profit. And so Jose gets the job while Joseph keeps looking for work.

To refine it down:

An Illegal Alien gets $10-$12 /hour. Anyone supporting a family in the US has tomake $40/ hour (wages, benefits)

So, who makes up the $28-30?

You-the taxpayer.

Employers are getting an indirect SUBSIDY by using Illegal Aliens.
