Most FReepers want limited immigration.

If we rounded up all 10 million illegal aliens in America tomorrow and sent them home, would you support letting 10 million other immigrants coming in to fill their jobs? What number would you support coming in at that point (after the 10 million have been removed)?

You assume that if we sent all the lettuce pickers home, the jobs would stay here. This is a false assumption. The lettuce picking jobs would move to Mexico (assuming the workers are from Mexico) because, as all you pro-immigration folks keep repeating, illegal immigrants "do the work that American citizens won't do"), and if there are no workers, the jobs can't stay here. Then we will have put our farmlands to higher and better use and will have gotten illegals back to their own country, where they can't continue to exploit our social service systems.
