I recieve an email a few days later telling me it had been pulled because it violated guidelines. Though I just checked questions in immigration and their are far more offensive questions than the one I asked. Just in case you're curious the question was, "if you woke up tommorrow and all the illegals that are mexican are gone and they took every contribution they made to society in the last hundred years with them would this country be a better place?". I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact wording. I apologize if I mispelled any words. My public school teachers time was spent helping illegals.

That is ridiculous. That was a good question, and, a great opportunity to discuss. I am sorry it was deleted. That is ridiculous.

I think there are likely very few 100+ year old illegal mexican immigrants in the US. So any contributions made that far back were more likely made by the ancestors of current American citizens, even if they may have been illegal for some of that the time (since, if you're born here, you're a citizen).
In all likelihood, most contributions made by illegal immigrants from Mexico would have been 'covered' in thier retroactive absence, by citizens, and by immigrants - legal, and ironically, illegal - from other countries. For the past century, America has been a large and virbrant economy, on the whole, and no one demographic can claim responsibility for that.
OTOH, currently, much of the proceeds of the labor of Mexicans working illegally in America flows to the Mexican economy in the form of remittances, anyway.

To answer your question, yes the country would be a much better place. Education, health care, transportation, taxes, the court system, culture, etc would all be drastically improved.
I don't understand why your question was pulled.

A hundred years ago, it was almost impossible to be an illegal unless you were Asian.
