Not true. No illegal labor and higher wages would have a minor effect on retail prices.

Meat packing raids and new legal hires and higher wages proved the same for retail prices of meat.

Veggies and Meat. Meat packers make more than farm workers...Legal or illegal. Drop 15$ per hour into field help and see what happens.
