Many of the roofing and carpentry jobs. Landscaping galore, etc.
Americans are not willing to work for those wages that are being
depressed by the influx. You have much extra supply and the demand stays
the same what happens to prices (ie wages).

I'll tell you what: When this country has a conscription system which
requires able bodied people to work in atrocious jobs for a certain length
of time, I'm all for throwing out all the illegals. But, that won't happen.
Not ever.
Hardly a reason to let them come in. If they were tossed out for
being illegal, then three things would happen. Some things wouldn't get
done because at "real" wages (w/o the extra illegals) they just aren't
profitable. In other instances, the wages and to a greater or larger
extent prices would go up. In still other instances alternative ways of
doing things (automation, for instance) would take root and provide jobs
for those making the stuff.
The idea is that we try to do things in an orderly manner
according to quotas or whatever means the Congress decides on.
