Not if you support subsidized labor. Yeah the illegal will accept less wages for more work because they have less expenses. The citizen you are denigrating that wants higher wages needs a decent place to call home, a running car, money to pay taxes, food for his family, hospital bills etc.

If there are crappy jobs that "Americans wont do," how about instead of importing the 3rd world and subsidizing them with tax payer dollars, we instead say if you work "X crappy job that society needs" then you pay ZERO income tax.
