But we'll have $10 heads of lettuces if we don't leave our doors open? Personally, I would rather import lettuce then cheap labor that I get taxed to subsidize.
I American farmers can't figure out how to run their farms without breaking the law then it is time for them to go out of business and sell their land to somebody who can.

I tend to agree with that statement. I left the Concrete and Construction biz in Cali as I could not compete with the illegals employers. (among a few other reasons)
But the farmers deal in a free market, if everyone else is employing illegals, that is what you have to do. There is no Market Premium for produce harvested by legals. Organic yes, but not just because the farmer followed the law. A real shame what's happening to this nation.
