Many conservatives I know are fully in support of legal immigration

Then why do they oppose it? That's a contradiction. They oppose asylum seekers which is legal immigration. They oppose and make up fake news controversies about legal Haitian immigrants saying they are "eating the dogs." The actively want to make it harder to come into the country legally. Even for illegal immigrants, if we create a path to citizenship they would be legal, but they don't want that, they want to kick them out. The legal status of them thus does not matter to them, it's not their primary concern, they just want to get the immigrants out.

You need to explain to me how opposing legal immigration = supporting legal immigration. Resolve that contradiction for me.

The left enjoys telling business that if they can’t afford to pay a living wage for their lowest paid jobs then they don’t deserve to be in business, while at the same time decrying the cost increases to food and janitorial if those industries had to pay non-migrant workers enough to do those jobs.

There is only a "contradiction" because you are an extremist dogmatist who insists we should all fall on our knees and worship the free market like it's a god. Whatever the market says goes! Humans be damned! How dare you question the glory of the market??

No, there is no contradiction here because we can pay people a living wage and bring down price gouging. Your issue is because of the fact you are an extremist dogmatist who treats free markets like a religion where it is blasphemy to question anything private corporations do, you act like price gouging is just a fact of nature, like a natural disaster, something that can't be helped because it's just the will of all mighty market which we cannot question.

Again, no, some of us aren't religious zealots for free markets. We recognize that we can demand workers have higher pay and companies stop price gouging at the same time and there is no contradiction here. You can't wrap your brain around this because you think private corporations are equivalent to deities which we are not allowed to question, so if workers are paid higher and the corporations choose to offset this by raising prices, oh well, there's nothing we can do, you can't question the decisions of the great mighty oligarchs, whom we must fall to our knees and worship!

Yes we can. Grow a fucking spine you cuckhold.

“Americans don’t want these jobs for that pay” pushing wages down using illegal immigrant labor.

Aren't conservatives the ones who say "guns don't kill people, people kill people?" Yet somehow this agency disappears when it comes to wages being lowered. Wages are lowered on their own, again, like a natural disaster, the free market is just something we cannot question and we have to accept whatever it throws at us. No, people lower wages. It is an active decision by private enterprises, the people who run them have human agency which you continue to pretend does not exist because you are a complete dogmatist who wants people to bow before them like gods. It is those people, human beings with agency who push down wages. Wages don't just magically go down on their own whenever your country has immigration.
