Just as an example , fast food , certainly not a career job for most but still it was a gateway job for our high school kids and people going into entry level jobs , now its almost all illegals and anchors ,
Also most meat packing was a union job , bennys and good pay , around $20 hour , now its all 8$ and hour illegals and no bennys , have you seen the price of meat lately ? we are not getting any benefit from that cheap labor.
Vegas is a prime example , Many of the hotel / casino service jobs were held by Blacks here, they were pretty decent jobs also, Now illegals do those jobs at less money and the Blacks here all collect welfare.

Yes you're correct, but many of those workers are brought in through the guest worker visas. And traditionally the ag jobs have always been done this way, not so much for the others. But with the ag jobs they don't stay and continue to work there, they leave and try to find better paying work like those you describe once did. And with those other jobs they often stay longer, because the work is steady. Ag jobs, like construction are dependent on the weather and sometimes you don't work for days. But construction pays better and thus many can afford the time not worked. So ag workers try much sooner to find other work.
