This is a canard. Illegal immigrants, whether working at minimumu wage or accepting something less to avoid being reported, displace workers at the lowest level of the employment rung. This is either the poorest or the young. This has been a long standing excuse by the unfettered immigration/no borders lobby. If you consider who constitutes the lowest rung, entry level demographic, this concept is fundamentally racist.
"Illegal immigrants, whether working at minimumu wage or accepting something less to avoid being reported, displace workers at the lowest level of the employment rung."
Just wondering, why wouldn't legal workers take these jobs ?
People who legitimize the border invasion of illegals by claiming they fill menial jobs are forgetting that they also draw welfare in one form or another from our system and don't pay enough taxes to replace it. They get more social benefits than American citizens receive and are essentially raping our land.
