It's a cultural difference.
And probably to some degree heritable personality and intelligence differences.

The least qualified people should be the lowest paid or why would anyone go for higher education or skill training?

So you’re saying that some immigrants from Latin America are going to de-industrialize the U.S and convert it to a 3rd world country?

The US admits over 1 million legal immigrants per year. You a clearly ignoring the legal versus illegal distinction. Legal immigrants are vetted and must meet certain criteria. We have laws, and those laws allow a generous 1 million into the country. I certainly don't want unknown law breakers coming into the country.
