I concur with your concerns, but I think it's worth shaking up the situation we are in now. Technology has made capital many times more powerful than before, so it's a tough fight to be had. My hope would be that removing the cheap (illegal) labor from the US will disrupt the organizations relying on the cheap labor and result in increased wages, and/or moving some of production from the US to poorer countries, which would in the end help them without having to risk life and limb to come to the US.
