Four percent of illegal immigrants work in agriculture. Twenty percent work in higher paying construction jobs. I volunteered (penny a pound) working with tomato pickers in Florida. From my experience the most vulnerable people, those hurt the most by illegal immigration are the immigrants themselves. Next would be US citizens in mostly lower income urban communities.

2017 = 2.1
2018 = 2.4
2019 = 1.8
2020 = 1.2
2021 = 4.7
2022 = 8.0
2023 = 5.58 first four months

Let's see. What catastrophic event happened in 2021 that caused a three year skyrocket in inflation?
