The "fear" expressed in the article is that if the illegal farm workers area allowed to work legally in the U.S., they'll leave the poor wages in the agriculture sector and seek better paying employment.  I have little sympathy for employers who want to pay something less than a living wage to their employees.   They won't have a problem if they increase wages.
