They aren't; it's true. I mean, unless you are a strawberry picker or day worker who hangs out by Home Depot looking for work.
The problem with undocumented workers isn't the fault of the worker, it's the fault of the employer hiring them regardless of their citizenship status. If your local Pizza Hut hires a few Mexicans to cook pizzas instead of college kids, that isn't the fault of the immigrants for taking the job.
There's a problem with the system and cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers, not a problem with immigrants trying to make some money to get a better life.

Get rid of the minimum wage and we could address the problem better IMO. A lot of traditional American industry relies on illegal labor because they would be uncompetitive or too costly if they did not - agriculture and construction mainly.
