Yeah, deport, deport, deport. Great. Awesome. Send those lawbreakers back home. Cool. But when that happens, don't be surprised when the economy implodes.
Who is building houses, repairing roofs, picking produce, landscaping, cooking and washing dishes in restaurants, laying concrete, cleaning houses, doing your wives nails, working in car washes, and working the ranches (hint: Yellowstone was Hollywood nonsense - it ain't like that in Crockett County).
Have any of you thought about what's going to happen when you deport everyone doing those jobs and what it's going to cost to replace those folks with documented citizens?
* documented citizens. That a B.S. word. You are either a citizen or you are not. Ilegal alien > illegal immigrant > undocmented immigrant > undocumented citizen > citizen . It is all just part of 1984 Newspeak to blur the lines between American citizens and Illegal aliens. It is part of a campaign to make citizenship irrelevant so it is easier to flood America with more illgal aliens
When all those jobs were being filled by Americans 40 or 50 years ago, people could afford houses. Even people with blue collar jobs. It might cost more at first , but I know it will be better for the country, because a lot of people will have more money to spend since illegals drive down wages for a large segment of the workforce. I would not be surprised if we have spent ONE TRILLION dollars on illegals in the last 40 years. Then you have all the money that would have been spent in the U.S. economy that was sent to Mexico and elsewhere. THEY ARE A NET DRAIN ON AMERICN SOCIETY !!!! BYE BYE !! Now factore in all the money that does not go to Americans or American institutions because it has to go to illegals.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine all the money that would have gone to American citizens

If you add up all the increased burden and cost of illegal immigration on our country, higher taxes, higher insurance rates, higher home costs, the burdens on schools and our healthcare systems, courts, and law enforcement, etc is it really cheap labor anymore? We are paying for it one way or the other. Back in the 80's and 90's companies should have bit the bullet and started paying manual laborer citizens a decent living wage and you would have more legal citizens willing to do that work, and more young people interested in going into those fields. Instead they want the American taxpayer to pay for their cheap labor...If we are going to have to pay for it anyway, I'd rather that money go to legal citizens that have assimilated and love our country than paying for more 3rd world peasants to be here.
The government should have pushed for people in the trades and manual labor jobs 3 or 4 decades ago to earn more money instead of importing more slaves. They should have fixed our immigration system for good decades ago and made it impossible for anyone to be here illegally and regulated the amount of people allowed to come.
