The unions also figured they could make a buck by restricting labor supply to increase wages. That worked.

Well, actually, what happened in many markets was that employers turned to illegals to fill the jobs at a subsistence level wage, or less.
As long as crime and/or entitlements pay enough to compete with low-wage jobs, people who have access to either will not join the workforce. Employers will have to pay more than people can scrounge up without working if they want to fill jobs that were once filled by illegals.
