I almost can't believe what I'm hearing. What we're discussing almost sounds like slavery to me. Are they willing to do the work? Sure they are. That doesn't mean we should take advantage of them.

Its not slavery, its voluntary and paid. Its not even really taking advantage of them. They take the job because they are better off for it. In other words doing so benefits them.

None of which says anything about whether offering them the job depresses wage rates, or says much about the general issue of immigration, but at the very least the illegal immigrant does benefit from being in the US and having the chance to take the job, even if it is low paid by American standards.
