If your REAL problem is the lack of an opportunity you might try learning a needed skill.
Low skilled labor sucks. Robotics does most of that work today in the USA.

But don't despair; Trump is deporting lots of illegals that are chopping lettuce, plucking chicken, cleaning toilets ... you can have their shitty jobs at low wages.

There may be some jobs in construction opening up -- that is dirty and dangerous work -- I know I was a building contractor ;0) However, the undocumented workers had the lowest paid jobs from the what I saw -- mostly scabs in small residential construction.
  1. Go tell that to those who live in cities like Detroit or the midwest.
  2. Flippingburgers on minimum wage
  3. Or just live in an area where the jobs have gone to the Third World.
  4. So racism is acceptable. Or did you really mean Racial decriminalisation
  5. How much does that cost?
  6. Agreed and then what do you do with the millions who have no other choice?

Yes deporting those who do jobs for minimum wage will open up jobs, why do you expect people to work for little and live in poverty so you can have cheap goods?

Your attitude was paramount among the rich and well off back in Victorian times. your problem long term, as this election proves, is the people won't vote to be poorer. People like Sanders or the Far Right will sail into power.

Unless you think the vote should only go to those who own land or earn above $60,000.
