This country is in desperate need of unskilled labor which will become scarcer as our population ages.  Fixing the legal immigration system allows these unskilled laborers to become part of the legitimate work force 

they only allow 65k h1b (20k are reserved for people with Masters or higher) so 45k annually can come here and work in High paying Skilled jobs for a max of 3 years. 

• A job offer from a U.S. employer for a role that requires specialty knowledge
• Proof of a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in that field
• Your employer must show that there is a lack of qualified U.S. applicants for the role
  

For the non-skilled jobs, they can apply for 
H-2A and H-2B visas are for seasonal, or peak load, temporary workers in an agriculture (H-2A) or non-agricultural (H-2B) setting. Generally, these do not extend beyond a year.


So you are saying that aside from the agricultural jobs, Americans don't want to work in the Construction, Food Processing/Cooks, Ground Maintenance workers, nannies, maids, sewing jobs (for those i think it's the employers want cheaper labor). 


Then we have to deal with documented workers wanting those same jobs as well.... so they are taking jobs from people that will fill them.
