You pay $.99 USD for a two liter of Coca-cola, I pay £1.75 (that's about $3.5 US). This is pretty universal grocery-wise. The dollar may be worth less in terms of other currencies, but it buys you more of the things EVERYONE routinely buys. (Some products are in near parity, but things are, as a general rule, more expensive here.)
Kick all the undocumented migrants out in a short period of time and the US would be hit with pretty severe inflation.
