We are in the situation we are in now because of this system, not because of immigrants. Capitalism creates scarcity, and that is not how it has to be. With the advances technology has made(and could be even further advanced without capitalism) we could all have more than enough. Instead a handful has more than what is necessary, while the majority does not have enough so they are forced into fighting each other over what is available to them. But it does not have to be this way.

Now this particular article brings up something very interesting, in addition to exposing the gestapo behavior of the ICE agents, in that there is this contradiction we have here. On the one hand the "invasion" of the immigrants is destroying U.S. society and culture(by the way some culture we have here, built entirely on super-exploitation and genocide, while the great majority of the people are kept ignorant), and yet on the other hand, the cheap labor power that these immigrants own is the only thing keeping this economy, in its current stage of capitalism-imperialism, alive. And such a contradiction cannot be resolved under capitalism, not in any way that will benefit the interests of humanity at least.

Once again, if you approach this matter from the viewpoint of a dialectical and historical materialist(nothing to do with dogma), you will notice this, and the fact that this is not the immigrants doing, but rather is the doing of the ruling class and their insatiable appetite for profit. Until the masses in the millions can understand this, from a dialectical materialist perspective, and understand also the need for the revolution and communism, we will continue to fight for the very little that is made available to us.
