If there is no qualified US citizens are available to fill the job, you can't argue that it lowers wages. Wages only stagnate or decrease when you have illegals willing to do the same job, cheaper.

Furthermore, thanks to unprecedented jobs numbers and record low unemployment, there is an immediate need to fill available jobs... you know, that thing that fuels economic growth.

So.... you're welcome for that explanation.
