I would not mind paying 25% more for my agriculture products, etc. if it would bring the immigration problem under control.

Ok but would you want to see interest rates go up as a result of inflation which would kill the stock market, kill the housing market and possibly cause another banking crises as a result ?

Interest rates are a function of money supply which is controlled by the feds. The recent record low interest rates have nothing to do the illegal immigration. It was a function of the Feds loose money supply to get us out of a recession. The up tick in interest rates for the last 18 months is the result of the Fed tightening the money supply.
