Which businesses are you talking about that won't survive?
If there are NO ILLEGAL workers in the U.S. then all companies are playing on a level playing field, they'll all have to pay similar wages and have to charge similar prices and the ones that are managed the best are the ones that will prosper.
Saying that the businesses won't survive without ILLEGAL LABOR is ridiculous. Then perhaps those people shouldn't be in business to begin with.
It's the same argument businesses make whenever Democrats want to raise the minimum wage. "It'll cost the economy jobs" "We'll go out of business if we have to pay workers more" etc etc etc
But none of those things ever happen, all that happens is the workers make more money and prices go up a little bit.
