This did not happen according to the article when Ike was president. I'd bet that even if prices were to rise, most of these businesses would not go under, they would just be less profitable.

While I still believe a significant barrier should be built to help prevent border crossings, the key will be to stop businesses from hiring illegals which Obama has done little to enforce. Then as Romney said, many will "self deport".

When I heard Tyson had been caught employing illegals we quit buying any of their products.
