The cost of labor to pick produce is about 3%. Try again. No 20 buck

And this:

7. Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and
other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this
subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The
study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the
end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the
growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers'
profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens
would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3
percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the
making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days
Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.

In case you missed it.
