Would mass deportation have an affect on supply/demand and the economy?

Question

If yes, please explain.

I apologize, I left out illegal immigrants.

Answer 1

Gonna need those workers when the boomers retire, so you nativist idiots cant figure out that illegal workers equal lower wages, lower labor standards enforced. Deportation is impossible, and attrition will work to a point, but thier always uethical contractors will hire illegal labor regradless of fines imposed to undercut the competition. Need to work with Mexico to make migrant more orderly tranparent fair, and slowly open up labor markets since we need to fund retirees in the next 20 years. Its not black, and white as people think with immigration. We need overhaul of the whole immigration system because small steps will make illegal immigration worse because legalizing one set of people, and making another set illegal creates preverted incentives.

The solution is common sense immigration policy like having funds while you stay and look for a job, and requirement of sufficent funds for 90 days while you look for a job, and the job would have to pay 120% above the poverty level.

Low skilled work visa based on having the funds of about $5600 dollars for a 90 day stay or $10,000 bond from a reputable instution to look for a job, and if after 90 days. They get a job that pays 120% above the poverty level the visa would be renewed for additonal 2 years. After 2 years they would be eligilbe for citizenship. Only countries allowed in the program are like Western Europe Central America, Austraila, Japan, South Korea, Canada would be allowed to partcipate in the program. The only other option would be highly skilled worker with degree at Master degree level, and all countries would be eligible. One time fee of $500 unrefundable, and plane ticket required if you cant get employment within 90 days.

Deportations are a bit stomach churning when it comes to women and children...the PR end of it would be nothing to be proud of. Yet, because of decades of inaction, past politicians have kicked the can into the 'now' and we have to deal with it. There will be some displacements...true. Like a junkie 'kicking the habit' we're likely to go through a lot of withdrawal pain. On the other hand, continuing to feed the habit isn't a solution either. That's why a 'wall' (remember the 'wall'?) is a good idea....a good idea that will never happen. (Please tell me I'm wrong!) Employer sanctions? You should hear how 'business' here in Arizona is squealing about this one....it's pathetic! That leaves us with deportations....Criminals in our prisons first. Young men and women without kids second...IIlegals who've been here less than five years next. Unemployed childless men and women next. Couples with non-citizen kids after that and at all times anyone arrested that isn't a citizen. Maybe that's not 'fair', but you have to prioritize. Famlies of long standing with US born kids must be barred from citizenship so they can't bring in all their relatives should they attain citizenship. Let them stay, but no benefits of citizenship. Harsh, I suppose, and I don't feel comfortable with it, but 'ya gotta' do what 'ya gotta do, or stop talking about it and just admit there is no border between us and the rest of the world!

Answer 3

Yes of course it would. 99% of our produce is currently being harvested by illegal immigrants. If we were to deport all of them the farmers would have to hire replacements (Americans) who will not work for the wages that the illegals are being paid. Therefore increasing the amount of money the farmer will have to charge to stores that buy his produce the stores will pass the expense onto the consumers.
That being said I still believe that something needs to be done about the illegal immagrant situation. They are also affecting are economy by being a burden. I don't mean this in a racial way. But the wages that they are being paid is not compatiable with supporting them and their families. Therefore they go onto welfare, medicaid etc and Americans are left footing the bills. They go to hospitals to be treated but have no insurance or money to pay. The hospitals are literally going bankrupt and there have been recent cases where hospitals had to close the doors (go out of business)

Answer 4

Absolutely. Quite simply if you remove consumers from the economic chain there will be a downturn in spending lowering cash flow from regional businesses then expanding out to their suppliers. Even immigrants buy food and other essential products. In the course of these expenditures they also pay into regional tax systems. How great this effect will be depends directly on how many are removed. Mass deportation may be survivable over the long term but short term shocks to the economic system will indeed be drastic if the deportees are removed from a concentrated area.

Answer 5

maximum human beings could desire to work out "Mass Deportation" springing up. this would possibly not take place, yet some would be deported. rules which will make illegals self deport is our answer to the unlawful concern. we've legal worker courses and a potential of legal immigration. We definately do no longer want illegals in our u . s .. we could desire to comprehend who's here and why they're here. Our u . s . can't have sufficient money those human beings taxing the supplies human beings are procuring.

Answer 6

Well considering many agriculural industries depend on paying substandard wages with this fact alone we would see a huge rise in food prices, which would put a strain on other industries as people have less money to spend elsewhere.

Someone would have to pay for the rounding up and deportation of the illegals. It wouldn't be cheap to round up sevral million people and give them all plan rides back to their home country. Someone would have to pay for it via taxes, and you can bet that their home countries aren't going to. So add higher taxes on top of the higher food costs.

Then all the businesses have to worry about interviewing, replacing, and training millions of employees and paying them higher wages. This will lower profits, and boost food costs, because of higher production costs, and a slowing of production that would also result in lower supply.

After all that is done, these same businesses will find it cheaper to do their processing in China and ship the stuff back here.

Answer 7

Yes, indeed, if we can't export the jobs to low-wage countries, then just import the workers (George W. Bush's "guest worker" program). Either way, U.S. workers lose.

Of course, industries such as restaurants and agriculture interests, which can't move their jobs overseas, love the idea: a pool of workers willing to work for starvation wages and endure a miserable and many times unsafe working environment, conditions to which U.S. workers are not willing to subject themselves and their families.

There are probably plenty of U.S. workers for these jobs if they offered decent wages and working conditions, but that won't happen so long as the Bush administration permits and encourages the influx of noncitizens who will work for less.

Some of us believe that the welfare of U.S. workers might be a bit more important than providing a pool of cheap labor for some industries by making illegal aliens legal

While government statistics show our unemployment rate to be around 6 percent, some experts estimate that it is really between 10 and 11 percent if all the Americans who have exhausted unemployment benefits and just given up looking for work were counted. Many polls have clearly shown that as much as 80 percent of the American public want illegal immigration stopped and legal immigration scaled back.

Answer 8

It could only have a positive effect. We are not just talking about Mexicans I hope. There are a lot of people for a lot of different countries harboring here illegally. The American economy has to learn to stand on it's own. Are you aware of how much illegals cost us in health care, judicial services, jobs, educational benefits and a whole lot of other stuff. This is America, you need to be American to reside here. People who come here and go through proper immigrations channels to become citizens don't bother me at all. Just the illegals!!!

Answer 9

Yep. It would force crooked business owners to pay market wages. This would increase the price of goods and services. A lot of the increase would be offset by the expansion of the economy as more citizens took part and spent their income instead of sending it to Mexico. As unemployment decreases, spending on social programs would also decrease. School overcrowding would go away in many parts of the country, reducing the burden on communities to raise taxes to build new facilities. Elimination of the large illegal immigrant gangs would reduce the workload on law enforcement, allowing them to concentrate the resources in other areas.

Answer 10

If you're talking about the illegal immigrants from down south, then it would mean minimum wage labor for farm laborers and other low skill/pay jobs such as janitor services and such. We could also begin seeing MASSIVE price spikes on picked produce at supermarkets, and maybe just lots of inflation, because the workers that worked for a pittance are no longer available, and businesses will have to resort to minimum wage labor.
