When illegal immigration disappears, our economy collapses, and prices soar, will you mind? No?

Question

Okay.
Then can we sign you up to get out there and build our infrastructure? Highway construction? Maybe a nice job out in the orange fields?

I'll assume all the people screaming for immigration reform will be willing to head out and do the work themselves.......

Answer 1

no they won't b/c if they did then i don't think there would be poor people in this world b/c the jobs are endless when it comes to picking fruits and vegetable and working in hot *** sewing factories. many americans wouldn't be caught dead working in places like that, they would rather get on welfare and live off of others.

Answer 2

First of all, the billions of dollars a year that is being drained from the taxpayers for them to live, work, get into wellfare, social services, medicaid, and education without having to contribute, could go towards the jobs they do to make up for it. This way things balance themselves out. We would probably even have money left over that can go to other problems this country has besides illegal immigration. Another thing I get sick of is hearing people say this country can't keep moving without them. Maybe they do the jobs that no one else will do, but we are the reasons they have those jobs and places to live and go to school. Our taxes go to these things. So if the average were as lazy as some people say we are, then we wouldn't work, therefore not being taxed, therefore the illegals couldn't work, or get on affordable housing, or wellfare, or social services, or medicaid without having to contribute. They might be becoming the majority of people in this country, but they will always depend on Americans to support them, making them the minority.

Answer 3

Okay, My Dad owns a Huge Construction business and after another hard working illegal alien has stolen from him and dissapeared, He drives Down the street to the race trak where there has to be 100 of them lined up ready to work...I know that the reason he hires them instead of americans is because they will work for 3 or 4 dollars/hr. However, I don't think if the illegal immigrants left our economy would go down, It would give all of our americans a chance to go out and get those jobs that the "aliens" are stealing, and who cares if the rich guy has to pay 2more dollars/ hr? It will just even things out a little.

Answer 4

This is the naive view of the liberals here. Americans will work the farming jobs for a fair wage. The wage increase to hire citizens would not cause a large rise in prices, fuel prices have more of an effect than wages. The illegals cost more than they contribute to our society. If our bleeding heart politicians would cut welfare to people who are capable of working and forced them to get a job to survive then the orange fields would be loaded with job seekers.

Answer 5

I'm over the whole Americans won't do jobs- the reason illegal immigrants get those jobs is because the companies can get away with giving them crappy wages, no taxes, and they do not have to supply heath care.. if you hire Americans there are more stringent rules that apply to them.. that is why the majority of illegals get those jobs and not Americans - Less unemployment for Americans! Yeah you are right, what a bad idea

Answer 6

I guess you think that everything in this country was built by Illegals? Seems to me that Illegals are sneaking into our country stealing the American way of life.
We did just fine before them and will be a lot better off after they are sent packing back across the border.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Chasity
Get real, Stop trying to confuse Legal to ILLEGAL Immigration!
We did fine without you and will be better off without you, I have seen the work you do, cant even take an order at McDonalds without messing it up! Go home and pick your own fruit, that is about the only thing you can do without Screwing it up!....besides having Anchore babies and take what dont belong to you!

AND GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN!

Answer 7

If you really think that the economy will collapse because illegals go home, you need more than a 6th grade education. Sure would be tough if those contractors had to start paying AMERICANS a real wage instead of pocketing the extra profits from paying an illegal half as much. I suspect you are a person with a lot of illegals on the payroll.

Answer 8

That is a crock of baloney.

Those of your neighbors, family, friends, and co-workers who have illegal immigrants cutting lawns and doing work that they prefer to hire out are contributing to the erosion of our country as a strong economic backbone of this continent. It is not “convenient” to go pick up a day laborer to do work on the yard or house – it is a crime.

The economy will not suffer because LEGAL immigrants and Americans can and will do the work. Then where will your ignorant argument be?

Answer 9

While the majority of answers point out the flaws in your logic/illogical, I had a historical thought on one point.
"Then can we sign you up to get out there and build our infrastructure? Highway construction?"
I seem to remember Ike rounding up or running off the largest percent of hispanic illegals...Then starting and completing the largest roads project in American history...The Inter-State Highway System.

Answer 10

Um, 'bring it'. At the same time, pull the plug on welfare. People will overcome muscle aches and blisters, and the social engineers that were trying to weld the United States and Mexico together economically will watch their really shitting welding job come apart at the seams...I'll take muscle fatigue and independence over their crap any day of the week.
