The resulting increase in the price of those vegetables (and countless
other commodities) will be passed directly onto the consumer.  This will
spur inflation without appreciably increasing the average quality of
life, as the "living wage" you refer to will have to be increased
further to allow for the increased cost of living.  How long will it
remain a pleasure to pay more?  Many of those on fixed incomes simply
won't have the option, either.  Are you willing to starve the elderly in
the name of your "ethnic cleansing"?   Woops - guess you'll have to
raise taxes too . . .

While we're at it, what about all of those teenagers and college
students who take summer jobs away from adults?  Most of them live with
their parent(s) and do not have to support themselves.  If we just
raised the minimum age of employment to 21, and raised the minimum wage
to $10/hr, adult unemployment would evaporate, right?   It would be a
pleasure to pay more to rid the (largely service-industry) workforce of
its youthful and incompetent elements, while allowing formerly destitute
adults to feed and house themselves.

Of course, we wouldn't have any of these problems if those annoying
bleeding-heart brown people hadn't taught illegal white religious-wacko
immigrants how to kill game and grow corn.  Shoulda' just killed them
and burned their boats, I say.
