If, as I suspect, there is a reservoir of unemployed Americans collecting state benefits who could be earning a wage doing the jobs that illegal immigrants are willing to take on, it could be argued that the presence of 'alien workers' in California is an economic necessity.
Of course, a drastic change in social policy might be effected that compelled the indigenous 'work refuseniks' to trade their doles for low paid employment. Then there might still be an argument for welcoming the Mexican (and other) immigrants on humanitarian grounds.
