True, but maybe it's a worthwhile deal because prosecuting the employer would presumably result the elimination of in many illegal jobs in exchange for that tolerating that one illegal guy.

Megafarms and other institutions are driving down US wages illegally. The criminal aliens themselves impose a large cost in tax money.
Both Democrat and Republican politicians profit at the expense of the public:
Democrats get more Hispanics who reliably vote Democrat.
Republicans get cheap labor for their rich patrons.
What you lose:
US wages, public safety, respect for the law
The more poor people there are in a society, the more you have to pay in taxes for social services and law enforcement, and the less healthy economic activity per capita there is, resulting in a decrease in material standard of living for all but the richest 0.1%.
Poverty does not just affect the poor.
How they rationalize their abuse:
"No human being is illegal."
How you should respond to their rationalizations:
True, no person is illegal, but everyone who entered the US illegally is a criminal so we should correctly call them "criminal aliens".
Criminal aliens have broken the law by sneaking over the border. They don't belong here.
Even if the criminals were actually brought here by farm owners, they are still criminals and should be deported.
Their illegal immigration results in no bargaining power for labor and thus effective slave labor.
