Reaction: Low-Paying Jobs

I think that the legal workers refuse to do jobs such as landscaping is because it pays less. Since the legal workers might as well find a better job than to do a low-paying labor intensive job, the illegal workers take up these jobs. But if the illegal workers are stopped from entering the job market, there will be no one to do these jobs. That means the demand for the workers will rise and subsequently the wage for the job will rise too. This will give the legal workers an incentive to take up the labor intensive job that was earlier taken up by the illegal immigrants.
