Okay. Reinstate the Bracero program that was in effect in the 1950s and 60s that allowed them to temporarily come here and work in the agricultural industry. I have no problem with that.
What is unacceptable is when they infiltrate occupations that USED to pay decent, livable wages and their presence and willingness to work for depressed wages brings the wages of EVERYONE in that occupation down. The construction industry, warehousing, fast food, janitorial, hotel/ motel housekeeping, ranching, etc. are good examples where this has occurred, and this is just a small list. There are many other examples.
If the job pays a livable wage, people will want it. Conversely, if employers have a constant pool of illegals willing to work for depressed wages, and if they can hire them with impunity, they will exploit that option.
Even Ceasar Chavez got pissed off at illegal aliens because they would act as strike breakers (read: willing to work for less than others) when he was trying to organize the U.S. citizen grape pickers in the San Joaquin Valley.
Unlike Southern California, which is a lost cause, you can still go to Midwestern states and find Caucasian, U.S. citizens working at fast food and housekeeping occupations. The employers thus far do not have a pool of cheap, exploitable labor to draw upon, but that situation is rapidly changing, especially since the Obama Administration doesn't want to deport anyone who steps across the border. Just ask AZ governor Jan Brewer as to how frustrating this is.
If the job pays decently, U.S. citizens will want it. Now that the Mexicans are here "in numbers", as you say, what were jobs that had less-than-stellar pay rates have morphed into jobs that have absolutely crappy pay rates.
Blame it on illegal immigration because that is the root cause.
The "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" argument that you're advancing doesn't hold water.
Once upon a time, the jobs paid well. The "proof in the pudding" of THAT is that, once upon a time, there was an America that wasn't over-run with some 14 million wage-under-cutters who, from a legal standpoint, shouldn't be here.
