would this be a win-win for libs and cons regarding min. wage?

We shouldn't be artificially trying to create a shortage of workers.

What would your suggestion be if we didn't have immigrants? Just kill unemployed people?

Immigrants are a net benefit to the economy, we have no right or reason to keep them out. You sound just like the racist union workers of the early 20th century who blamed low wages on Jewish, Irish, Romanian, and Italian immigrants.

EDIT

The only reason they're "illegal" is because there are stupid laws that say that can't be here. Those laws are xenophobic and wrong. You don't own this country. If an immigrant wants to come over and work in the country you should have no say in the matter.
