Politicians, immigration attornies, the Department of Labor, business owners and all illegal aliens all benefit from illegal immigration. So what do We the People get out of it besides cheap lettuce?

Employers simply need to offer good enough wages and conditions that legal US citizens and working residents are willing to do those jobs. If they don't, they've got no-one to blame but themselves if they can't find workers. Also, the Mexican government should make better laws to protect workers in their own country. The US shouldn't be picking up the slack from other countries' lack of decent conditions for workers, especially given that the world is already overpopulated with humans.
Addendum: I just skim-read the link. Yes, employers who do this should be hit hard with criminal penalties. For illegal immigrants themselves, the penalty should be civil (usually deportation) rather than criminal. It's the employers and people who run these rings that we really need to hit hard.

Jail growth explodes as Feds crack down on illegal migrants
By Jay Root | McClatchy Newspapers
DEL RIO, Texas — Many in Congress are counting on border walls to discourage illegal immigration and dope smuggling from Mexico. Here in Del Rio, Texas, authorities are using prison walls instead.
The ever-expanding Val Verde County jail is filled with would-be yardmen and maids, immigrants awaiting deportation. They've been caught in a law enforcement dragnet known as "Operation Streamline,'' a zero tolerance program that began here and has since spread both east and west along the Mexican border.
... supporters say the approach is reducing crime and discouraging immigrants from trying to cross into the United States. The number of illegal immigrants caught in the Border Patrol's Del Rio Sector is at its lowest level since the early 1970s.

On the other hand, we could skip that by allowing consumers to wave the wand instead and create the products that will not be produced by the employer because he can't afford to pay such high wages. Sustained growth, low prices, high wages, no foreigners, and magic. Sounds perfect.
