use of natural resources?

Question

If we sent most of the illegal aliens back to where they came from would we not use less and cause the price of things as the different types of gas (natural and gasoline) to come down? Would price of other goods you buy at the store also come down because of the lower demand?

Answer 1

Demand for things might drop a little. Costs of production for local goods would go up due to a increse in the cost of labor due to the smaller size of the labor force. I suspect the price increases would overwhelm the drop in prices due to the drop in demand.
