you're right.
the "free market" cannot exist in reality.
its a model used by economists to simplify theory.
Essentially. The "free-ness" of a market is all relative. Ours with regards to immigration, particularly on the labor side, is extremely un-free, offering illegals a huge inherent advantage over legal immigrants and citizens. They can work for less than the minimum wage. No one else can do that without the IRS or other regulatory agencies cracking down on them.

Exactly, Huge part of the problem. It could be fixed by hammering employers of illegals but people are always going to break the law. It could be fixed by removing the minimum wage, but i doubt people would really start flocking to the jobs that illegals are doing for cheap. It could be fixed by amnesty, but i would imagine more immigrants will come in and take the jobs that they were doing.
