No actually that will increase demand for legal employees.
You realize that you're making the union argument, right? Employers are just paying low wages because they're greedy -- not because they have to to remain competitive. Sometimes its true -- in both cases -- and sometimes it's not. Sometimes the loss of undocumented workers will result in more legal workers being hired, and sometimes a company can simply no longer compete with foreign competition.
The truth is that the economy is better off with illegals than it would be without them. Immigration laws in Arizona and Alabama come at a great economic cost | Business | TIME.com
Of course it would be better still if we brought them out of the shadows with immigration reform.
