What you forget is that some jobs just cannot pay enough to make it worth for non-impoverished people. A very clear example is farm jobs in the US. If farmers had to pay real salaries, production costs would go dramatically up. So they depend on undocumented workers. This is similar for the fast food industry and so many other industries that are now operating in third world countries. For these industries, poverty is the natural resource that they depend on. If poverty ended all over the world, a lot of industries would disappear or have to change dramatically to continue existing.

Just not when there is competition from other farms using illegal immigrant labor. You know as well as I that if all illegal immigrant labor simply disappeared, the American farming industry would not just shut down and leave everyone to starve. They'd pay as much as they needed to hire Americans, and consumers would pay as much as needed to sustain that.
