Yeah, it's not like English is spoken anywhere else in the world....
But it is not the most widely spoken language in every country. It is here, however. So it is a part of our heritage and culture. You've missed the entire point.
And you think we didn't have illegal immigration before when we had less border and immigration security?
Illegal immigrants actually don't make up a significant sector of the population, around 5%. Most first generation immigrants don't assimilate.... it's the 2nd and 3rd. Quite a lot of perfectly "american pie" Hispanics living in America. You don't seem to have a good grasp on the issue.
5 percent is more than 15 million people in the US; that's def too many. Too; MOST illegal aliens are in states that border Mexico. I want ALL illegal aliens deported, even white ones and I'd def be Ok with yanking birthright citizenship from anchor kids who are under about 18 years old. Those anchors with 2 illegal alien parents.

I'm willing to bet that there are as many people in other countries who speak English as there are Americans who speak a second language. English tends to adopt words from any other language that it comes in contact with, and it is without a doubt the language of technology because of the amazing flexibility and nuance it has. This has been a driver in people outside the United states learning it.
Anecdotally, I had an online business for a few years and kept a map with pins in the countries I had shipped to. When I shut it down I had dealt with customers in 34 countries on five continents. All but a couple of them not only had experience with English, they were a lot more fluent and better spellers than some of the people in this thread. The ones who had the hardest time with it were the Chinese who found English syntax to be confusing.

That would open up a lot of jobs that would be filled by people who would demand a lot more money to do them. I'm behind you completely. Let's give the jobs to Real Americans. We don't mind paying three dollars for a tomato and eight dollars a pound for chicken, do we?
For those who are self-employed and have to furnish their own health insurance and retirement, we will need to remember that when we get charged a hundred bucks for someone to spend two hours cutting our lawn.
“The place where I was born and spent my childhood gave direction to all my future struggles. In Bialystok the inhabitants were divided into four distinct elements: Russians, Poles, Germans and Jews; each of these spoke their own language and looked on all the others as enemies.”

Your proposals could work.
It's utter nonsense that with the exit of millions of illegal aliens that prices would go way up by paying an American a fair wage for the same job. Illegals save the consumer no money anyway as we are taxed to death covering their social cost while their employers just pocket the profits from their cheap labor. Your claim of having to pay an American a hundred bucks for two hours worth of manual labor is ridiculous also.
