Except that they can't. If they came in legally then those sites wouldn't hire them. They're hired for the fact that they are undocumented, and therefore can be paid a fraction of what is legally required.

Completely correct. Undocumented workers compete with those on minimum wage. It’s those who are harmed most.

So then they can just not enter the US illegally. There are Billions of people living outside of the US every day. And the people in the US is crying day in and day out that it is a racist hellhole and how cops are huting people of color on the streets like animals and burning down cities in protest. Seems like they would be better off somewhere else. I would not immigrate to US if someone paid me.

There are, actually, worse places to live than the US. Just because the US is one of the worst countries of its wealth level in the world, and just because the English-speaking web is full of US news, that doesn't mean the US is the worst place to be.

Why not rather petition places that is not racist hellholes to take the undocumented immigrants and even some US citizens as refugees? Why try and get them into a racist hellhole in the first place? Just because it is not the worst place in the world, does not mean that the US is not a hellhole.
Really it is abusive to let anyone into that place.
