Illegal immigrants lower wages.
Supply of workers is increased while the demand stays the same causing lower wages for the illegals and the legals. Since the workers are "Illegal" this disables Economists to give a true quantifiable number on the effect of wages, since there is no "LEGAL" record.
Many of the "Illegals" are in danger of being "Trafficked" (forced slavery) which is very damaging to capitalism. With around 9.8 (World Wide) being exploited by private corporations, this is a hindrance to allow capitalism to find equilibrium... <1>

LOL now you've got illegals that won't work for 10 bucks an hour, anymore. The whole thing's gotten really stupid, which is why illegal immigration needs to be stopped.

Perhaps the questions should be: "Is it ethical of businesses to hire illegals instead of the citizens who have a right to work in this country? How do the business decisions of a company in relation to hiring practices affect us citizens as a whole?

They drive down wages drastically for the middle class.

Walmart and other companies hire them instead of legals because they can get away paying illegals $1 an hour.

You should do some research instead of asking question on yahoo. You may read what you want to hear instead of actual facts.

the companies that hire illegals pay them less so that means that they don't like to pay more for citizens.
