If illegal immigrants were not available for the labor to harvest produce, the market for labor would create jobs that Americans WOULD fill.

Would food prices rise? Undoubtedly. But agricultural labor isn't the most important cost in the price of food. Anyone have any statistics on the cost of ag labor as a percentage of retail grocery costs?
