Do you think the US economy would basically keel over dead...?

Question

...without Mexico? Some people responding to my other Q went on and on about what a huge economic benefit Mexico/Mexicans are to the US economy. What's your opinion, can we not find eligible employees among a population of 280 million etc?

Answer 1

The Other Way Around

Mexico Would Go Down The Crapper Without The USA

In Fact
When We DEPORT All The ILLEGAL ALIENS
The Remittances Will Be Cut A Geat Deal
(Not As Many People Sending Money Home)
And Mexicos Economy Will Suffer

Speaking Of Remittances
Why Do ILLEGAL ALIENS Get To Send
39 Billion Dollars Annually To Their Families
Instead Of Paying Taxes?

Id Like To Give The Money I Pay In Taxes
To My Family Too

Why Must I Pay Taxes
While The ILLEGAL ALIENS
Can Give THEIR TAX MONEY To Their Family?


Eligible Employees?
We Got Plenty
There Are 18 Million Citizens That CANNOT Find A Job
There Are 20 Million ILLEGAL ALIENS In THOSE JOBS

Once We DEPORT All The ILLEGAL ALIENS
The Citizens Will Step Up
To Get Those Stolen Jobs Back
The Union Movement Will Take Off Again
And Wages Will Rise
And Working Conditions Will Improve

Technology Will Increase
Especially In Agriculture

The American Middle Class Will Be Revived

Answer 2

The Mexican economy as well as that of many other countries would (or would have) keel(ed) over dead without America. If we were to stop all foreign aid, and call in all monies owed by foreign countries within say 10 years, we would own the greatest part of Europe in 10 years and would have no national debt. The debt from France alone from WW II would make a bid hole in the national debt.

Answer 3

I don't think it would. As for finding employees there are temporary services all over, NOT every American has been to college, and welfare offices could start pulling files/names up just start handing a job to the recipient. (pretty much making them work) Another thing not many Americans is willing to work in the fields, well my solution to that is start putting prisoners in those fields!! Start making them work instead of sitting around lifting weights and watching TV. In the long run I'm thinking it might even curtail future offenders....who wants to work in a field for a punishment.....not me.....picking produce in a field is NOT fun (I know cause myself and my brothers used to do it in the summers, when the farmers actually still hired kids) My point is though the cleaning and so called minimum wage jobs could be filled.

Answer 4

I think you would have trouble replacing all the low level workers that are from Mexico. Too many americans think they are too good to work in this kind of job or won't work because the pay is too low. It's the same in Canada, people grumble about the immigrants taking all the jobs, but none of them want the jobs the immigrants are doing.

Answer 5

Considering the fact that most of the jobs that 'Mexicans do because Americans won't' will be automated within the next generation or two, I think the US government would seriously prosper if the all the illimm's were gone.

Answer 6

There is no question there would be significant economic dislocation if they all left at once. You can't take a million workers out of a single city (Los Angeles) and not have a hiccup or two.

However, it would work out, with once again higher wages and benefits, and less crime.

Won't happen, though.

Answer 7

No. Americans can do what Mexicans do only BETTER, a higher quality of work. That is why the USA is not in the corrupt mess Mexico is in.

Answer 8

It would not make us crumble but it would hurt the economy to lose so many workers, who by the way don't all work dangerously low paid jobs. I have never met an illegal in my area who was working for less than minimum wage actually.

Answer 9

No way. What a joke. Like the economy is really gonna crash because the rich have to pay a little more to cut their lawns and have their sheets changed. Give me a break.

Answer 10

Yeah right... apparently the mayor of New York thinks the economy there would collapse ... and if he can't or won't do anything about it, tough ... the US economy would definitely not collapse ... I've yet to see one single report anywhere that supports that ludicrous idea ....
