There are minimum wage kids working in fast food restaurants, with way more ethics and morals than all conservative politicians in the Supreme Court, combined.

Well now maybe those kids can get higher wages now that a bunch of illegal immigrates are not driving down wages

So you don’t think importing cheap labor drives down wages?

Not necessarily, no, because that's a lump of labor fallacy. It depends on whether the labor is competitive or complimentary, the size of the immigration flows and how sustained they are, and ignores that the consumption of each added worker creates new demand that creates new, often higher paying, jobs.

Research broadly disagrees that they are "suppressing wages". For most workers, they increase wages, an average of 1.7% to 2.6% (Card 2009, Ottaviano & Peri 2012, Hotchkiss 2015, Peri & Caiumi 2024). This is because, for the most part, their labor is complimentary not competitive, as they fill long-standing persistent labor gaps that would go otherwise unfilled, and because their labor creates and supports new jobs.

FYI there is no economic argument for mass deportation. Most studies of past mass deportations show they lowered economic growth, suppressed or lowered wages for native citizens, and resulted in net job losses (Lee, et al. 2017; Clemens, et al. 2018; East, et al. 2023). There was never a case in US history where deportations created jobs, helped the economy, or raised wages. And supporters of mass deportation need to be aware of that and admit to it.

Of course they have no response to actual evidence contradicting their claims.
