The only reason the illegal immigrants get those jobs is because their bosses don't want to pay the extra taxes, benefits, etc for an american to do it. Who do you think did those jobs before? C
Most people don't know how much they actually benefit from Aliens doing the dirty work, because it is Out Of Site, Out Of Mind. I see it every day, so for me, it's right up front.
The question that you seem to be ignoring, is, are you willing to pay more for those products and services, so that Americans can have those jobs at higher pay. My guess is that faced with higher costs for Food, Housing, and Child care that would no doubt come with your plan, most Americans would be unwilling to pay the higher costs that your suggestions would no doubt bring. It's fine to say, 'Let's Pay people More", when the person isn't thinking about where the money is going to come from. I doubt that the Business will eat those extra costs, more likely, they will be passed on to the consumer. So the question I'm still asking is, Are YOU willing to pay the higher costs for your suggested plan?
