Most of what you are predicting sounds like you are making the argument for me.

The prospect of paying more for food, may be valid, although,the price of chicken and milk (two industries heavy into immigrant employment) has doubled in the last two years I could cut back drastically on both - in fact, I have on the chicken. It is just my little protest.

I haven't built a house lately, but I don't think the price of houses has decreased in the last few years and theya re heavy into that industry also.

This sort of negates the argument of inexpensive goods due to cheap labor.

Also my property taxes have doubled in the last 3 years. What could be causing that?

Why do people insist on calling these people guest workers? They are temporary workers. Those are not insulting words, just a good description of what they do. A guest is someone I invite into my home to partake of my hospitality. A worker is someone I pay to do a job.

Add to your list the price of clothes, household goods, etc.
all of which have increased exponentially since we embarked
on this national suicide mission of open borders/free trade.
Also, we now have created a double standard in this country
where many companies can now break employment laws, EVADE PAYROLL TAXES,
pay minimal wages knowing the SUCKERS, oops taxpayers will
subsidize other basic needs for their workers. Anyone who
advocates continuing the status quo is nothing more than a
useful idiot.
