So, if the potential price increases of food is a red herring, must there be some other reason so may people agitate against anti-alien laws?

(I do find it remarkable that the most violently vocal defender of Mexican, women or other minority rights tend to be moderately affluent white males. Very odd phenomenon...)
The biggest and best financed group is the scumbag Republican employers of illegals with their lobbyist arm the US chamber of commerce. Their hired legions of activists are the ones whining that the economy will take a big hit and prices will go up without the so called cheap subsidized illegal labor. In actuality, though, what would take the big hit would be the lucrative profits that the Republican employers would take if they were forced to stop hiring illegal Mexican scabs. They are throwing a lot of money to fight the employers of illegals sanctions laws, particularly mandatory e-verification of the legal status of employees.

There are plenty of other pro illegal OBL groups with overlapping agendas, that don't want employers of illegals sanctions laws passed, also.
