Who will work for sub-poverty wages doing dirty and hard work?
I live in San Diego and see the demographics. Illegals are not taking good/big-money jobs away from starving Americans.
I dont and cant see Americans working for $5.00 an hour in the fields of North County or the San Joaquin Valley.
Give them Green cards and allow them to do these jobs. It'll help them, businesses and consequently, the consumer.
I've heard arguments here on DU about how Americans will do those dirty and low-paying jobs. Not many will, IMHO. Unless wages go up, benefits are offered and working conditions are improved. All that will drive up costs and the shit you buy at the store will cost you more.

Go ahead! Flame away!
