Do anti-illegals realize the negative effect it would have on the US economy if illegals were deported?

I agree...California would collapse....besides convince me that the American population would jump up and work these jobs....you show me white teens picking fruit or cleaning toilets for less than minimum wage...show me this......
and I will move to hail George Bush as a member of Mensa
and I will move back to Mexico.

The world would be better without companies like Walmart.

this guy is too dumb.illegals sent 20 billion dollars outta the u.s. last year alone.how is that helping our economy? stupid!

Sorry but you are wrong again.

We don't NEED undocumented workers. The economy can survived and flourish without them. What we need is STRICT control of the borders and the people who enter this country. Establish a guest worker program where the "guest" is not allowed to bring his/her family over here and require that they check in with the Govt weekly to provide proof of continued employment. This would solve many of the problems and not violate and American Citizens rights.

If this causes a temporary shortage of workers so be it, we have a huge prison population that needs rehabilitation (worked till exausted) and millions of Welfare receipients that can be encouraged to work.

ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Nothing would happen.The economy wouldn't crash. The U.S.A would be better off with out the illegal immigrants or the illegal workers or the undocumented We didn't need them before they came an we don't need them now

Yeah Walmart would have to start paying people more than 7 bucks an hour. I wouldnÂ´t lose sleep over it. I donÂ´t see how that proves we need undocumented workers.

We do NOT "need illegals"! Friggin illegals all need to take their sorryass back where they came from! They are not wanted here, bunch of damn leeches!

I am hoping you will charter a bus, load it with your fellow Mexican Nationals and drive all of you back to your beloved Mexico... Write us when you arrive... Some of us will be sure to stop and say hello during our next winter vacation to Mexico!

Recently INS came to the company I work for and checked records for all employees. They found 68 illegals and deported them. Now is see more older men and women being hired. So why do we need them when we have a work force here that was overlooked before they were deported. And no the older workers do not make more money than the illegals did.

Lordy, we have guest worker programs and the legal channels to have legal migrant workers in the USA. We wouldn't feel the pinch.

braziliangirl

the economy would go down for sure!!!!
America can't live live without undocumented workers, they are essential for the economy!!!

I'm left wing, and I think that people should be able to migrate to the US LEGALLY. What is wrong with getting legalized? If the red tape is so bad, then why can't the US look into an easier way for legalization? It is amazing to know that there are A LOT of working immigrants that are legal, and they don't like illegals either, because they had to work to become legal, and that is the respectable way to them. Wouldn't it be for anyone?

Give over ... you really are this stupid? Or trying to put a cat among the pigeons? Suggestion .... read up on the subject, you might learn something .....

Yes, it's been well studied and published.

There would be no negative effect.

You know, I could live with employers having to pay social security. In fact, I think they should.

dallas

there may be a dependence on some level, but i cut my own grass and have my house cleaned every other week, but i could do that myself. the bigger issues are national security, and obeying the law. get here the right way if you want it so bad. maybe any losses from the all powerful corporations you speak of could be made up in the form of grants from the govt. with the billions of dollars we won't have to spend housing the 20% of or national prison population that are illegal.

babybro35

they don't necessarily have to be deported just stop wanting the same rights as American citizens you are illegal you aren't true citizens.... that's the simple fact

BrownTown

So.... you're saying that if the people who don't pay taxes yet use tax funded social services leave, it would be a bad thing?

LaContessa

Mainstream American does; that's why this issue exists. Mainstream America is represented here by less than a handful! The rest are cutting and pasting, assuming we don't hear the news.

No. It would require them to engage their brains ... ouch!

First of all, you are mistaken if you think illegals are not having FICA and income tax withheld by corporations. All Corporations be it Walmart or the corner Deli, are required to have SSN for all employees. The larger the Corp, the smaller the chance that they are employing illegals off the books (cash payments), because it too difficult to manage within a corporate system of checks and balances. Illegals use bogus, counterfeit, or "borrowed" Social Security numbers. The monies are sent the the government, and illegals never get the advantage of the benefits.
To a limited degree the US is dependent upon illegals. But not to any level that would cause a economic castrophe.
