When they say illegals are taking all the jobs, they mean it's hard to get correct and appropriate pay for their labour because these desperate people will accept much less, which brings down the typical pay for that job. The left blame the employer and the system, the right blame the people accepting those conditions.
The Left punches up. The Right punches down.
The left expect progress to occur by changing the system, the right expect progress to occur by individuals changing themselves
That's a pretty good way of putting it
