If all illegals were deported>?

Question

would we all pay less taxes?Would we be as financially strained?What would change?

Answer 1

The bigger question is we would pay much higher gas prices?!

With Mexico being one of USA leading crude oil suppliers, we wouldn't want to spoil relations with Mexico.

We need them as much as they need us. No one seems to mention this. I would love to see all the anti illegal supporters then.

They would be belly aching about something else no doubt, such busy bodies....

Answer 2

No we wouldn't pay less taxes, not for a long time, maybe never. Yes It will be a financial strain for many years in my opinion. Everything would change! IF WE DON'T DEPORT THEM THE ANSWERS REMAIN THE SAME. We're going to pay either way we go on this issue. The problem myself and many has is..........we don't want to flip the bill for a bunch of criminals.......we'd rather pay the taxes and endure the financial strain of upholding our Law and protecting the future generations of America. I'd give $100 to support an American citizen before I'd even consider giving a dime to an illegal.

Answer 3

1. Don't know if taxxes would be lowered they would probably not be raised for a long time.

2. Financially, the country would be better of ... social security will have a chance to work, we might pay more for produce, but the money we spend will go right into Americans tax payers pockets, thus economy will be on the raise. Employers will be looking for more people to do jobs, so wadges will go up .

3. Our culture will not be threatened, property values will go up, crime will drop, class rooms will be less crowded, America will once aging be abel to take care of Americans... the same Americans that pay the taxxes for the programs that the illegal aliens take advantage of.



America is the greatest, most successful country , and compassionate country on the face of the Earth. How ever we must watch out for counties like Mexico that only want to take advantage off our good will ..

Answer 4

I don't know that taxes would ever be lowered - once the government gets tax rates set, they rarely lower them, regardless of their election promises. No, taxes don't usually go down, no matter what. However, the advantage would be that benefits would now be available for American citizens when they need them. In fact, welfare roles and EI recipients would likely be drastically reduced, over time as those people were able to re-enter the work force. Some prices might go up minimally, but with more Americans working, everyone could afford the slightly raised price of fruits and veggies. Crime rates would drop dramatically as would the cost of keeping illegal immigrant criminals in jails. Schools would benefit as they would not be so overburdened and hospitals that have closed would be able to be re-opened. Of course, none of this would happen overnight as it would take time to recover from the damage done by the illegal immigrants. As well, even deportation will never happen over a short period of time. But, it could be done systematically and even if it took weeks, months, even a few years, it could be done and America would feel the benefits within months of this occurring. I also believe a big re-do on the Welfare laws and rules need to happen, to ensure that Americans who are able to work are no longer eligible for welfare. They can get out and do some of the jobs the illegals used to do. Our teenagers will also be happy to be able to do a lot of the jobs. Pancha, for some reason you seem to think all Americans have money to burn - we are not all rich or well-to-do. Most of us are struggling, ourselves. Don't class all Americans as well off. There are lots of Americans who would like to get off welfare and back to work doing the jobs the illegals do, only for a liveable wage, which will happen if illegals are deported.

Answer 5

I have to same AmericanRoses had an awesome answer. I do think Americans will eventually pay lower taxes. Think about all the anchor babies we wont have to pay for and welfare and section 8, our social security will be in better shape. Not many illegals pay taxes. Wanna know why? Becuase they are illegal, therefore they have fake social security numbers (which is also called stealing someone's identity), hence forth most get paid in cash since they cannot legally be hired. The day all the illegals leave will be a glorious day!

Answer 6

We might not pay less in taxes because we would still have to bring our economy back into the 'black'. Illegal immigrants have abused the system for a long time. We won't overcome the losses for many years. However, without them here to suck out billions annually, we stand a chance at least. If I have to pay more for produce, so be it. I'd rather pay more for produce picked by a legal citizen who pays taxes than an illegal immigrant who doesn't. Our federal programs would not be depleted, so there WOULD be assistance there for U.S. American citizens when and if they needed it. Social security would no longer be going to illegal immigrants. Our wages would go up. It would be better in the USA in EVERY way!!

Answer 7

All of the above. I don't know about the Americans where you people live(probably the city) but folks around here, illegal or not work very hard. Not only are they not lazy(probably a city thing to be lazy) but would pick strawberries sun up to sun down if they had to. So don't give me this crap that illegals do jobs Americans won't do, because it's not true. What it is, is illegals willing to do the same job for less, so they take away jobs from Americans, not do jobs Americans wouldn't do.

Answer 8

Schools and health services would not be as strained and would be able to recover.

There'd be a bunch of gaps though, as employers scrambled to cover dislocation. It would work out.

Except it is easy to say when I don't know which of the kids in my sons' cub scout Pack are illegal and would be being deported. It would be a bit harder to take when that started to hit home.

Answer 9

One outcome of both the legislative and enforcement attention being focused on the immigration issue could be an unintended one: HIGHER WAGES

After nearly a decade of relatively few arrests of undocumented workers, thousands have been rounded up in the last two months, with the largest action netting more than 1,000 people.

That already is making some employers think twice about hiring undocumented workers and it is making some job seekers nervous about work in highly scrutinized trades, such as construction.

The potential in Florida for wage pressure is enormous for two reasons: a job market that is as tight as it has been in the last 30 years, and the critical position that immigrants, particularly Latinos, have in one of the Sunshine State's seminal industries -- construction.

With new, more stringent regulations being talked about at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, even without action by Congress this year, enforcement is going to rise, and with it, wages.

There is a whole lot of evidence that American citizens are
going to step up to take these 12 - 20 million jobs.

So wages, especially in low-paying job sectors, will be driven up.


Meanwhile, Homeland Security has proposed a significant regulation change where it would use mismatched Social Security numbers used for employment to immediately investigate whether it involves undocumented workers. Those new rules will likely be in place at the federal level within the next two months, WITH or WITHOUT comprehensive immigration reform
The net effect: an immediate drop in the cost and the speed of job-site enforcement

Some Southwest Florida construction sites already have begun to feel the
heat, said Edie Ousley, a spokesman for the Florida Home Builders Association.

"There's been rumors of increased enforcement, so there's been some no-shows
at job sites," Ousley said.

By some estimates, half of all Florida construction jobs are now filled by ILLEGAL Latinos.

It is an industry that the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation says is struggling to fill as many as 13,000 vacant jobs to keep up with demand.

There already has been considerable wage pressure in construction.

There is no arguing that labor shortages raise wages and that labor surpluses push them down. By limiting the number of undocumented workers, there will be more competition for labor and less competition for work. This will drive up wages

Wages in essential, low-paying job sectors will have to
rise, and for other "non-essential" jobs, choices will have to be made.

Nowhere is that more true in agriculture, the "canary in the coal mine" for
labor phenomena.

A lot of these low-wage jobs, someone's gotta perform. But there are some industries that are going to have to make decisions -- they are either going to mechanize or go abroad," Schell said.

"In a way, innovation and mechanization HAS BEEN STIFLED by cheap labor; that's especially true in agriculture."
