re: Come on, you left out "slightly fewer employees". Come on, read the whole post, I said: As to jobs being eliminated, I doubt very much that it would equal the 10-20 million illegals currently in the country. re: We'd all pay more for stuff, and its not even clear if the increased prices would eliminate all of the theoretical increased wages. If the low end of the scale gets a 10% raise, but fruits, veggies and meat go up by 12%, and there are less jobs, not sure you've really accomplished anything. Idiotic. Unless the cost of something is 100% labor then the price of that item is not going up dollar for dollar with a cost of labor increase. re: Do you know anyone that actually wants a job held by an illegal, or is this all theoretical discussion? Lots of people do... at the right wages.

Do you know anyone that actually wants a job held by an illegal, or is this all theoretical discussion? In CA, you see a lot of illegals working on large construction jobs. Here.........the work crews are definitely mixed in terms of ethnicity and may have no illegals at all. The reason for the difference.......I know for a fact that in CA, illegals make a lot less money than the average, legal construction guy for the same job. If the feds really crack down on illegals, the state that will suffer the most for its illegal 'addiction' is CA. I suspect the economy there will be roiled badly and that will hurt the country as well given how important the CA economy is to the rest of the nation. Withdrawal is a bitch but better now than later.
