There isn't going to be a host of freshly legalized mexicans that are willing to not only take a lower wage, but also start paying taxes on that wage.

Prices would go up; I don't doubt that. But no where close to being double.

Of course; they're criminals. I don't like paying taxes either, but I'd rather not break the law.
