except illegal immigrants have no rights or papers
as a result, when they compete with the native working class the native working class has to go below minimum wage
PhantOS:
if they're working below minimum wage then their employer is taking advantage of them, and you should direct your anger towards the dishonest employer.
Illegal immigrants may not have the rights of citizens, but the employer doesn't have the right to violate wage laws
