I read a peer reviewed study around 2009 that found illegal immigration was at most a net 0.1% effect on the legal American unemployment rate. The 0.1% was within the margin of error for the study, so it effectively concluded there was really no impact.

I think it had to do with the fact that illegals were employed in occupations that legal Americans were not seeking jobs in (meat packing, agriculture, hotel cleaning service, landscaping, paving, etc).

This is just about the jobs, not other areas.
