Untrue. "Savings" from illegal-alien scab labor are not passed on to the 
consumer, instead, it only enriches the corporate bottom-line.

This is already the case. The US now imports the majority of its fruits 
and vegetables with the exception of apples, oranges, and pears, corn, 
wheat and soy.

Not at all. The US became an industrial powerhouse mostly due to 
advances in the mechanization of agriculture. Already, the Germans and 
the Swiss and French are far ahead of the US in developing the next 
generation of robotics intended to make up for labor shortages, within 
10 years they expect to have eliminated all "guest workers" in agriculture.
