Once these illegals are granted amnesty, the “cheap labor” pool goes away. These new “aliens” now have rights and no longer have to work under the table for less than market wages.

That's right, but they also receive other benefits including unemployment and welfare payments. It also makes those who don't register more attractive to employers, thus increasing the incentives for more illegals to enter. We gave amnesty to 3 million in 1986, and now we are granting amnesty to 12 to 20 million now. Amnesty doesn't work.

And once these illegals become equals in terms of market wages, will employers continue to employ them n the same numbers? If so, the costs will be passed on to the consumer. If not, we will have an unemployed underclass who will be sucking at the public teat or involved in crime.
