It's such a shame to see xenophobia in modern society on the rise again.

Not wishing to be controversial in anyway ... but
The area I highlighted in bold is the most telling and relevant section to me.
If I am correct, you are arguing for better conditions for those who have illegally entered our country. The key word here is illegal. They simply shouldn't be here.
Now, if you remove a source of illegal immigrants, employers dont have the same capacity to take advantage of people and pay the illegal wages. Do you see where I am coming from? If there were no illegal people seeking employment, employers would have to pay the correct wages.
