Not everyone can get an office job especially in today's job market. Blue collar jobs are better than no job.

Office jobs were just an example. Plenty of people would rather take the millions of retail, service jobs etc.

There was already a labor shortage for agriculture. 

Farmers Struggle to Find Labor, Threatening Americans’ Food Supply and Prices

Help Wanted: How Farmers Are Tackling a Labor Shortage

Farmers Across the Midwest Struggle to Hire Domestic Employees

You can find plenty of articles about how there are too many open agriculture jobs going back years. 

Your fantasy that Farmers are suddenly going to be able to pay enough, and that American workers are suddenly going to pick up the jobs that were already available, is just that. It's not rooted in any kind of reality.

Illegal immigrants are getting benefits like free health care because they will never be held accountable for the bills they rack up.

Except they're not, except in cases of emergency. Thanks to Ronald Reagan.

Yes, I agree democrats are scum bags who purposely implement policies that defeats the purpose of a free market. Thank you for finally admitting it.

NIMBYism isn't Democratic policy.  It shows up everywhere on the political spectrum. 

Also the market doesn't really want to be free. Corporations want to be the exclusive provider of a service/good. That's why they buy up competition.
