Either way, the economy will slow without a pool of illegals performing our menial tasks. That would be the case with full employment, which we don't have. When we have both unemployment and jobs that don't require a lot of skill, we shouldn't need to import workers. We might prefer to but we don't need to.

>> f that had been enforced, it would have gone a long way toward solving the problem he's now trying to solve retroactively with a wall. Actually, the law could not be enforced at that time because there was no money with which to enforce it. But that's not solely what the wall is about. The wall is a recognition that a country must control its borders. The Bush and Obama administrations spent about $1 Billion to protect 53 Miles of the border electronically before GIVING UP. The wall will be a big, but workable solution. It may not stop every person but it will slow them down. >> Either way, the economy will slow without a pool of illegals performing our menial tasks. Ridiculous claim.
