I think there's some truth to that, although I'm not sure how much difference it really makes. Realistically, the glass ceiling for illegal aliens is pretty darn low. They are not going to beat out anyone for a job that requires a high school diploma.
On the other hand, their presence has kept agricultural wages low. If all the Mexicans disappeared, farmers might have to pay $25 an hour to get Americans to pick strawberries.
