Here's the part that bugs me.

Many of these people are desperate, looking for a way out of their bleak existence. So they do what they do, cross the border at night covertly.

If the tables were turned, would I be so noble and say "I will not sneak across the border in search of a better life and try and help my family?"

I honestly don't know the answer to that..........

Then the question arises, What should the man here do who is losing his job to said illegals do to provide a better life or any kind of life for his family?
You are right, it is a complex issue and I dont pretend to know the answer. I do have a sneaky suspicion that had we spent a good portion of the money we have spent in the middle east only to have military we trained and supplied with weapons and supplies turning and running away leaving said weapons and supplies for some flavor of the week militant group that is taking over the country on securing our own borders and preventing illegal immigration, our economy would be better off than it currently is. Just saying.
