I reject the argument that American's don't want to do those jobs. Can you prove that?
There is no such thing as any legit industry in America that is solely supported by illegal labor. Every job you just mentioned does has legal citizens working in them. Their wages are held down because of the illegal labor. Their employers are at an unfair competitive disadvantage. And the lost tax revenue hurts everybody.
Those costs get passed on to the rest of the economy as well
