Now whose exaggerating! The cost of producing and picking an apple, or a head of lettuce in the grocery store is a small percentage of the retail price. If an apple costs $0.50 today, then the cost of paying "legal" workers a true market clearing wage will probably add about 10% or less to the cost. I'll recoup that in lower taxes..... wait! I want to rephrase that, I'll recoup that in my taxes not going up anymore,.... no wait, that didn't come out right either. Oh, never mind.
