It would take a lefty to conclude that higher priced imports and lower priced exports would be bad for the US. Look at it this way, foreign competitors for products made in the US (if you can find any) don't have as much of the unfair advantage of next to slave wages. There is less of an advantage to multinationals to outsource to third world countries the jobs that used to pay well in the US. To top it off, the money illegals send home is worth less, so the incentive to sneak in is lower.
Where is the problem? If some are happy that foreign visitors come here more often and their money, that's fine, as long as it's with a US company, not another multinational that will just ship the money overseas. As far as people suffering because imported goods will cost more, I have more confidence in Walmart to figure out how to moderate that effect than anything the federal government can do to screw things up. Besides the shoppers are forsaking the welfaire of their own fellow citizens to save a buck or two. So I'm not quite so upset about that.
