The McCain version - otherwise, we will have to spend $50 for a head of lettuce.
I just erased how I really feel.
Even if the $50 for a head of lettuce cost were correct, which it is not, we should be paying what it legitimately costs to produce and deliver.
The illegal workforce has artificially lowered the true cost of many aspects of our economy, from house construction, house repair, landscaping, to food production.
What this creates is a HIDDEN BUBBLE in those sectors of the economy that profit from illegal workers.
If we grant amnesty and all those workers suddenly become legal, there were be a massive pop in all those bubbles as those employers are forced to pay at least minimum wage and to pay all the other costs associated with having legal workers (Affordable Healthcare quickly climbing to the top of the list).
