Not directly from the illegals, of course, as they have no lobby, but from the employers of illegals. 


I think a lot of people would pick crops rather than be out of work and collecting unemployment if they could make more by working. 


but unemployment insurance predates the Great Society by many years.  I remember the loggers collecting "rocking chair money" in winter when dirt roads were closed when I was a kid in the '50s. 


I can also remember citizens picking crops in the '60s in my grandfather's orchard, and American families living in labor camps when I was working with migrant workers in the '70s.  Not being able to pick crops without illegal labor is a new phenomenon.
