Their impact on the prices of goods and services is net zero. Yes they lower labor costs, which shifts the supply curve right, but they also increase demand which shifts demand curve right.
That is not accurate. Take something simple like food, particularly fruits & vegetables since that is one of the most positively impacted areas from immigrants. The low cost labor, along with skirting health & safety regulations vastly lower costs and increase productivity. Especially with Fruits and Vegetables, being perishable, this is critical.
Truth is, they are indeed more productive workers than the Americans who wouldn't do the job anyway..and sure as heck not at the minimum wage or per box wage that immigrants take.
Their increase in demand for the goods is minimal at best.

Also, Mr. Short Sighted, if we were to legitimize illegals and put them on the books, their ability to offer cheap manual labor would instantly be negated because their labor would be subject to the same stipulations and regulations as any other employee on the books.
How can people like you not understand that?
IF THEIR LABOR IS NO LONGER BLACK MARKET LABOR, THE ADVANTAGES OF THEIR BLACK MARKET LABOR NO LONGER EXIST.

Take something simple...like a wall. A tall and well patrolled wall. This will have the most positive impact on keeping criminal aliens from utilizing the other side of said wall.
The truth is that most of your post is made up of bullshite and non sequiturs.
The increase in demand for the wall will be the best way to curb slimy criminals and terrorists from accessing our country.
