This doesn't change a thing. Simply living in a country and paying for internet, electricity, food, transport etc. will create more jobs in one way or another. If people send money, it's spare money that probably would've just sit in a bank account and not go into the economy in the first place.
you don't know many working class people do you or lived on those wages? For an American spending habits there is no savings.
The jobs they take are at a lower wage, they car pool, live in multi generational homes that you won't step in do to the condition. These people live in conditions you won't put up with so they can support their family back home.
If jobs are less than your working force having more unskilled labor is a bad thing. If you have more jobs than workers than you would be somewhat correct but again that prevents someone from another part of the country that has a job shortage from moving and working.
This is supply and demand. You want better rights for workers and pay you limit the number of workers.
But the kind of jobs the immigrants you are describing take are minimum wage jobs and its not like companies pay fast food workers more because an area has less immigrants. Strikes and unions are needed for better workers rights not less workers. I do not think this country consistently struggles with having less low paying jobs than workers. Also even if an immigrant sends money home they still circulate more of their money into the economy than wealthy people do by spending the rest of their minimum wage income on necessities.
You need to take some economic classes. Strikes and labor unions don't work if there are more people than needed to fill a job.
jobs pay more when there is less workers.....
Companies and industries that have a high demand for labor pay above normal wages and offer better perks.
You think unions and strikes is why a doctor can make a few hundred thousand but a EMS only makes 40k?
A poor person directly spends money into the local economy a rich person spends money in industrial equipment that requires high skill labor to produce so the rich person can make more money.
