Maybe it's because I've lived in California all my life, but wouldn't it be self-defeating to take away economic incentives? I mean, sure, we can make it economically harder for the immigrants... but we'd just be fucking with our own local economies in the meantime.

I'm not sure I understand you Tommy, but which argument was that? Cuz it seems to me the problem isn't that people living in poverse conditions are unable to find a way up... it's that they've found one that's beneficial for many, though still illegal.
