I agree with you that we are paying for the "cheap" labor through higher taxes and insurance premiums.

What I'm saying is that the taxes and insurance premiums are not going to go down even if the illegals are eliminated from the equation. There will be savings, yes. But you and I won't see them. The local governments will keep taxes at the same level, and spend the money on some other pet project, and the insurance companies will keep the money as profit. All we will see is the increase in the costs of goods.
