The reason for this all comes down to money. Immigrants will work for far less than native-born Americans. It's not that "Americans don't want to work anymore!!" They just don't want to work for the low wages many companies pay.
So business owners will hire immigrants, rather than increase the amount they will pay Americans.
It's just a fact of life, and has been this way for a long time.
So what do we do about it? Find a way to force employers to hire Americans, making them pay more for labor? The first thing they will do is increase the price of goods and services to offset any profit loss for them.
And I know this is going to ruffle some feathers, but this isn't just some liberal-led plot to replace Americans with foreigners. Conservative business owners do it, too. Even President Trump and his family. Doesn't anyone remember that whole kerfuffle about Trump Winery hiring foreign workers instead of spending more on paying American workers? It was in the news for, literally, years.

This has been true since Reagan and probably long before that. The US Chamber of Commerce actually endorsed illegal immigration during Reagan’s terms which probably lead to his poor decision to grant them amnesty.
