 Don't buy them then.  Justifying the illegal's presence here by saying that food prices will go up is insane.  
You don't want chemicals, pesticides and genetically modified fruits and veggies, then by Certified Organic and **Do the Research**.  Support your local farmers.  Buy what's in season.  Or join a farmers co-op.  Keep the money locally and add jobs to our 
local economy.
Supermarkets can take their bitter, hard, light pink and barely ripened tomatoes and shove em.  There's nothing like a locally grown, vine ripened tomato.
