The us economy is utterly dependent on two things, 1) illegal labour 2) military socialism make work projects
If you remove either if those things without replacing them the US is in for a major depression.
Many Americans cannot equate their standard of living as being a result of illegal immigration. When you can't examine the heart of the issue the mind invents an alternative explanation.
"Mexicans are propping up our failing economy" becomes "Mexicans are stealing our jobs!"

How much does the average Grocery bill or Big Mac cost in Fort McMurray because the wages are higher? The answer is not much more than in Calgary.
Just because you increase the wages by a certain percent, doesn't mean the cost of the good increases by the exact same percent.
Take Walmart for instance. A store like Walmart typically runs a total wage cost % of 10% in a single store.
If total wage costs increased to 15% (a 50% salary increase to all Walmart employees at that facility), the cost of Walmart goods to meet their previous profit margins would only have to increase by 5% to have the same ratios.
