...a complete loss of immigrant labor could cause the loss of one-in-six dairy farms and cut U.S. economic output by $32.1 billion, resulting in 208,000 fewer jobs nationwide. Some 77,000 of the lost jobs would be on dairy farms.

Retail milk prices, the report said, would increase 90 percent if all immigrant labor was lost. That would drive the supermarket price of a gallon of milk, which averaged $3.37 in June, to approximately $6.40...

That means the wholesale price would have more than doubled.

Somehow I doubt that.

But even if true, that would be more than offset by the decrease in taxpayer-funded services the now-absent invaders would no longer be collecting.
