Perhaps. But Americans might do these jobs at a higher wage rate. As Thomas Sowell observed, journalists (who say “they are doing jobs American won’t do”), wouldn’t do journalism either at half the pay. It is all about supply and demand and the equilibrium market price. Naturally that price depends on whether or not you increase the labor supply with cheap immigrant labor.
With or without immigration (illegal in this case), our chickens will be plucked. The price of chicken will vary. Personally, I’d like a United States without illegal immigrant labor. This would free up the chicken plucking jobs for people who have worthless degrees like English and journalism. I know that I'd have to pay a little more for chicken, but it would be worth it.
I agree. I would rather pay more for goods and services if it means that the hired help gets better pay and benefits.
