So, wait, you don't think those that want to sell here won't pass that cost
onto the consumers here?  People who didn't study economics (or business in
general) might understand it that way, but that isn't how it works.

In a free market economy, like ours, the cost is passed to the *consumer*.

If someone only studied socialism, they might believe it isn't passed on but
that is because in socialism the government controls the economy.
