I would rather pay a little higher food bill or buy less milk and cheese than allow farmers to flout the law and cry that they can't survive without illegals. Even if amnesty is granted, what then? All of these newly legal workers will be able to work above the table and be able to get jobs that aren't so dirty and manual and he'll have to pay more... unless the borders remain open and he'll be able to get a new batch of illegals. Most employers don't want real amnesty. They want illegals to remain illegal with just enough enforcement against the workers to keep then scared and willing to work crap jobs, but absolutely no enforcement against the employers.
