Jatki, you're addressing the concept of supply and demand, and most Liberals believe it's rubbish.

Thats why despite alot of tough talk for decades there has been no action to mass exodus these people...and in the unthinkable event that someone like Ted Cruz would become president we still would not remove these people. Because no economic advisor worth his weight in pesos would conclude removing 15 million consumers from the economy would reult in anything but an instant recession.
There are ways you can make the immigrant population safer to both themselves and natives. Many of them are in the Senate Bill...and republicnas largely agree with them. Its just difficult for them to admit it to the tea party crowd
Well if you remove all those working for crap jobs those jobs would still have to be filled and the most likely way for that to happen is that those crap jobs would have to offer a higher wage, correct?, and if that happened those workers would be pumping more money into the local economy, correct? Oh wait a minute, then that would mean all those evil businesses and corporations might make a little less money then, that would be shameful.
Aren't you in the camp of raising the min. wage PJ?, oh yea, those on the left would rather it be govt. mandated. Getting rid of all the illegals working for crap pay would then let wages raise (or fall,doubtful) all on their own. Wouldn't everyone here like to see the
citizens of this country really getting back to work and earning a decsnt living? I certainly would.
As far as all those illegals pumping so much money into the local economy you do know that a majority of them send whatever extra they have back home don't you. If all those jibs were filled at a higher wage
AND they were all by citizens who lived there, the money would remain in the local economy. "Over night recession"
PFFT... I'd venture to bet that w/in a year whatever local econmy would be much better off and the avg. hourly wage would go up. I would also venture to bet that it would help some those in the really high unemployed demographic(young black men comes to mind,isn't that rate like 35+%?).
I'd rather see a market driven rising min wage and more of this countrys
citizens ,specially those just mentioned, working and making a decent wage than a country full of protected illegals.
