It sure sounds like you support illegal immigration. You certainly

As long as we have illegals here who will work for substandard wages
it cannibalizes the legitimate labor market it drives down the cost of
labor for everyone.

Geez, now you have me talking like Harry

I do? Please show me where I said that I do that.

It does NOT drive down the wages of "everyone." That's nonsense. I
suppose you're going to claim doctors/lawyers have to take lower wages
because of migrant farm workers...

OK not "everyone" just the lower 80% of the population. The working
class.

It is a fact that all working class wages stack on the lowest price of
labor and move up from there. I am sure you want a high minimum wage
but, strangely, you support a whole economy of illegals who work for a
fraction of that amount.

Really? How are plumbers affected by migrant farm workers?
