>>True. The New York Times had an article a couple of weeks ago reporting on an economic analysis study that estimates the annual cost increase would be something like $100 for the typical household. It is a myth that all the lettuce (etc.) is being picked by illegals. There is not a single industry, including agriculture, in which a large majority of workers are not legal citizens.
