My friend's cousin was raped by an illegal alien, and committed suicide shortly there after.
My friend's cousins uncle was stabbed by an illegal alien.
My friend isn't happy about illegal immigration.
Yes, I'm sure they contribute to the economy...but that doesn't nessarily mean me. Afterall, you have to think there are still many industry workers that are legal, and actually have competitive wages. My mother side is full of farmers, whom work till this day. They compete against farmers that have illegals. I'm sure the prices of product are similiar, except most of the profit goes into those employee hands...by exploiting the situation. Since you have a mixed market of free-labor, and mass cheap labor, you'll find that prices won't go downwards all that much.
I nearly equate this with southern slavery and nothern free-labor industry. They don't make sense together, and really antagonize trade, and labor. I'm not fond if this unground market of par-level slavery...we need to send a message to mexico that they have to fix their own @hit.
The CPI indicates we've had a good hand on inflation of food since 1982, and at that point in time we've didn't have the illegal immigration problem we have now.

If you really want to get into further reading. This one suggest that, "These comparisons suggest that labor cost inflation is not a consistent predictor of cyclical upswings and downswings in general consumer price inflation. As a result, analysts should use caution when interpreting cyclical swings in labor costs growth rates--as recent history shows, price inflation may enter a cyclical upturn before labor cost inflation does."

I have also heard of people who were raped or stabbed by people who were not illegal aliens. Imagine that!
