Answer 1

look at Mexico's economy for the answer.

Answer 2

The vast majority of the Mexicans that were here left and life goes on, grass gets cut, trash is picked up, lights are on, white guys are putting on roofs, buildings are being built etc.

I have seen something twice that absolutely amazed me. I saw 12, yes 12 Mexicans digging a ditch beside the road preparing to put a conduit in which appeared was for fiber optics. They worked on it for a day or better. The same ditch and conduit installation could have been accomplished by 2 people with a trencher in less than a day. The inefficiency just boggles my mind.

The economy will not collapse. Unemployment will go down a little.

Answer 3

America has a ersilent economy. Certain sectors will suffer, but we would rebound. THe point is that with out Mexican workers, we are then force to bring in legal workers. We can bring in a more diverse group of people. We can help people from coutries with worse economic situation. We can more closely monitor the employers of immigrants to make sure the employer maintain a reasonable work environment.

Answer 4

Now this is only wishful questioning, isn't it? cave in is only too good of a be conscious. it may go through nonetheless, lots, and then adapt. could that is greater beneficial off? As an entire, in all likelihood not (a minimum of not for a whilst). American exertions isn't cost aggressive in many aspects, having a 2 tier artwork stress - criminal and unlawful - enables it to regulate for that. i assume that's the style of ingredient which will make me seem undesirable for the two aspects, yet howdy... Edit to Giggly: you're able to nicely be stunning and that i'm in no place to argue approximately those economies yet, i ask your self to what quantity have been they challenged via low-priced imports and outsourcing. nicely, after alienating the professional and the anti illegals, I now have controlled to harass a candy lady at point 6 (this is gotta be like a brown belt or something). and what's worse, my 4 year previous daughter loves giraffes.

Answer 5

Disagree

Answer 6

Disagree

Answer 7

Actually with over 10billion dollars a year being sent back. Mexico's economy would collapes without Mexican workers working in the US.

So that would be a disagree,

Answer 8

I disagree, but our economy (and our society) WILL change, for the BETTER.
Oh, there will be a rough spot or two.
We do NEED the migrant farm workers.
We need a system that effectively and fairly allows and controls that form of labor.
Such labor is temporary, short term work and it is difficult to convince someone to give up his steady job to help harvest crops for only three months a year,even at high wages.
There may be other methods of dealing with that type of work, but until such solutions are found, the LEGAL migrant farm hand is a good solution.
NO, our economy won't suffer much but we will see some inflation. We can live with that. We've done it before. Vicente Fox and Mexico are the ones who will suffer when they loose the BILLIONS of dollars we indirectly contribute to their economy.

Answer 9

No...that's crazy. Employers would just have to fork out more cash and not be able to take advantage of their workers in order to increase their profits. In turn, people would get better pay, benefits, etc...and be able to spend more cash which would keep the economy in check and maybe even energize the economy since US citizens keep and spend their money in Country rather than sending it elsewhere to support their families as many Mexicans do.

Answer 10

It might be the other way around. Mexico Will Collapse’ With Too Mexican Workers Being Deported Home.

Answer 11

Vehemently disagree. We do not need the Mexicans, legal or illegal.
Besides, they send $30,000,000,000 a year back home. Ever wonder why the U.S. dollar is being devalued so much? That is a large part of it; of course, buying junk from China doesn't help any.
We don't need Mexico; they do need us.
