What do you mean lower wage? As soon as this is signed into law, they will be American citizens and there will be minimum wage for all of them.
Then, the border will allow another batch who are not yet processed, so low salaries but requiring the churches to feed their families, then, lo, they too will be getting minimum wage.
Of course I have not waded through the 600 pages yet, so possibly that is not how it will work.
It is my understanding that, as soon as the bill is signed, they will be here legally, and offered Z visas. Should they apply for one of those visas (there are different types, IIRC), the government has 24 hours to complete a background check on the applicant. If, however, the government is unable to complete said background check in the 24 hour time frame, the applicant is automatically granted the Z visa. And, should any be caught here illegally, ICE is instructed to help them obtain a Z visa.
It is my understanding, also, that should they desire to become American citizens, they have to do what is called a "touchback". They have to return to their country of origin and apply for citizenship. They will be placed behind all of the applicants who have spent years trying to enter this great country legally, which is the only right thing to do.
I haven't waded through all 600 pages either, so if I'm incorrect on any of this, I hope someone will be so kind as to correct me.
The current illegals will take their AMNESTY, and then the jobs of American workers who earn more than minimum wage today and turn those jobs into minimum wage jobs. No need to offshore when you can reduce costs right where you are. The workers displaced will just go on welfare, since no one will hire them at their high salaries. First ratchet down in wages and standard of living for Americans.
Now the employers, who are always looking for the best deal with wages will just revert back to hiring off the books at sub minimum wage no taxes workers, just like today.
The net cost, the extra workers, will just head on over to the welfare roles, and on and on it goes. The border jumpers coming out of the swamp will always work for less than minimum wage and will never pay taxes.
An endless supply of border jumper illegals doing the jobs Americans won’t do, at the wages Americans won’t accept, insures a constant fixed low payroll cost for the employers.
Unless the borders are sealed before anything else, the cycle will continue indefinitely and the welfare pool of Democrat voters will expand at the same rate as the illegal border jumpers flow across the border.
Last on in the hammock has to pay ...
